"For many years public-spirited citizens throughout the country have been working for the conservation of natural resources, realizing their vital importance to the Nation. Apparently their hard-won progress is to be wiped out, as a politically-minded Administration returns us to the dark ages of unrestrained exploitation and destruction. It is one of the ironies of our time that, while concentrating on the defense of our country against enemies from without, we should be so heedless of those who would destroy it from within."
-Rachel Carson in an op-ed letter to the Washington Post, 1952

Isn't it amazing how relevant things like this prove themselves to be sometimes? Thinking (or realizing) that we've, as a people, learned nothing, makes me sad sometimes.
Where do you find all the wonderful quotes you post? :)
From all the reading I'm trying to cram in before Fetus makes his/her debut! :)
It is sad, and sometimes I try not to think about it ... but ignoring it doesn't solve anything, and that's part of the problem too, I think.
