180 Degrees South Reflection

" The best journeys answer questions that in the beginning you didn't even think to answer."

The film shed light on the fact that the journey can often be more important than the destination. Valuable lessons are often learned over the course of a journey, and Jeff seemed to learn a few of these. I would disagree somewhat with his analysis, however. They state in the film that we need to stop making 'progress' and take a step back from the cliff. Innovation and progress has been important in allowing people to live longer, better lives. I understand the importance of open spaces and wilderness, but there needs to be some kind of balance.

They seem to say that the land should be open and free, but this is the essence of the problem. If individual landowners had full property rights over their land, and the water, things could be run as they see fit.
