Earth Day

In celebration of Earth Day, the president signed legislation which made it possible to drill in ANWR.

In celebration of Earth Day, legislation passed which made it possible to inject hazardous chemicals near underground water sources, in the search for oil.

In celebration of Earth Day, Republicans passed bankruptcy legislation which, added to increasing debt and decreasing jobs, will effectively kill the poor.

Social darwinism at its finest. Kill the beast of government, and the poor along with it.

We cannot walk without wounding the earth.

Almost every improvement that humanity has imagined has befouled their Mother.

Many attempts to correct the harm humanity has inflicted on Earth have ended up making matters worse.

We are the masters & mistresses of unintended consequences.

Humanity is a cancer upon the earth.
We are a cancer which has metatasized to unimaginable proportions.
We are a virulent cancer.
We are a cancer which is eating away at itself.

Mother, forgive us.
We only knew what we doing half the time.
No, we thought we knew what we were doing.
And when we did know, we often did not care.

Every footfall leaves a bruise.
Mother, forgive us.
