        Do you believe we live in a sustainable society? We're depleting ancient aquifers, topsoil, forests & fisheries, & destabilizing the climate. How can the next generation expect to see continued positive trends?

        Every living thing knows that life is absolutely precious. There's really no need to prove it to anybody, except to those who might measure some things - uh - differently.
