I was reading various articles and editorials in the World Watch magazine just the other day, and want to extend its insight:

"The greatest destruction in our world is not being inflicted by psychopathic tyrants or terrorists. It's being done by ordinary people-- law-abiding, churchgoing, family-loving "moral" people- who are enjoying their sport-utility vehicles, their vacation cruises, and their burgers, and are oblivious to where those pleasures come from and what they really cost. Oblivious not to what those things cost at the store, but to what they cost when all the uncounted effects of their production and use are added up." -Ed Ayers, Editor

We're here for more than our little introspective, self-absorbed, private pursuits. I have much, much to learn.
