In screenplay form as well and previously written under the title, "Waste," "Against Nature" is a classic, fast-paced story of obsession for a cause in modern-day Los Angeles. Skeeter Thomas is an ex-cop turned eco-terrorist who kidnaps the beautiful daughter of a wealthy car industrialist in order to force the clean up of the Los Angeles transportation mess. Even before today's ecological revolution, Skeeter has always had a love/hate relationship with cars--mostly hate. However, when he loses his wife to car smog-induced lung cancer and then his young daughter to an automobile accident, his hate turns to fury. As a young widower and now childless, Skeeter decides to make Los Angeles traffic problems his own.Skeeter 'challenges'--to put it mildly--the notion that as the train replaced the horse and now the car the train, these bloated, cumbersome monsters on wheels should be allowed to stay. But he has formidable adversaries in the all-powerful multi-national companies who seem to think so. Haven't they profited obscenely from their investment in the automobile industry: roads, oil, tires, as well as electric- and gas-driven cars themselves? And at what price? Mass Pollution and Gridlock Nightmare everywhere you go! Read about one man's attempt to turn the car into a modern-day dinosaur.
