one should admit at the outset to a certain bias. indeed i
am a \butterfly chaser, googly - eyed bleeding heart and wild
conservative.\ i take a dim view of dams; i find it hard to
learn to love cement; i am poorly impressed by concrete
aggregates and statistics in cubic tons.

\butterfly chaser, googly - eyed bleeding heart and wild
conservative\?

b. people who think the dam should be dismantled
c. people who don’t agree with the author’s ideas about nature
d. people who believe the author’s ideas are correct

Explanation:

The author is presenting a self - described bias against dams. The terms "butterfly chaser, googly - eyed bleeding heart and wild conservative" are likely used in a derogatory way by those who oppose the author's views. If someone doesn't agree with the author's ideas about nature (opposing dams, not liking cement etc.), they would use such terms to mock the author.

Answer:

C. People who don't agree with the author's ideas about nature
