He didn't include the money quote in his post, which had some American environmental activist criticizing the boy (who had gone behind some bushes near his house to answer the call of nature in the local fashion) for crouching down like a prey animal. Pompous, insensitive, and completely out of touch with the reality of life on the Indonesian island.

"Crouching down like a prey animal?" Humans are a prey animal in this situation. Sheesh.
I actually thought the "money quote" was the part that went, "Well, the dragons have gone extinct everywhere but here, so we better make sure we do things differently around here."
