[quote=Foster]I guess... Most of the time I've followed the literary ideologies of American Rationalism (Poor Richard's almanak, 'Summer solder and sunshine patriot' [Crisis]) Transcendentalism, and Realism (Pretty much the 19th century version of the gritty '80s, and included such writers as Mark Twain).I generally don't preach, but I practice... in a blue-orange morality sort of way.-Killing, totes alright. One could call me a naturalist, but a post-modern natralist would punch you in the face for lumping him in my boat; and I, his.

You have captured my attention. There are a great deal of literary references here, some of which I've read without thinking one moment about naturalism, but now I have to go off and look at it all again with new eyes. And in doing so, (even the little taste you've given) it puts a whole new eye on a book I've been reading (of no consequence, it is a minister's account of his dogs in Canada during the 1870's) and the mindset of the man who, while mentioning Providence a time or two, is really not interested in nature beyond its striking beauty a time or two (in particular the Northern Lights while in a fight with native dogs off the bow of his sled) and more so, it's incredible danger. Thank you for the insight! 

Though, you do need to explain to me the "blue-orange" reference, as that makes me think of opposing religions as well as how you, beyond literary choices, personally exercise your naturalistic tendencies.
