Quote:Birds, whose intelligence we tend to malign, know not to foul the nest. Shrimps with brains the size of lint particles know it. Algae know it. Once-celled microorganisms know it. It is time for us to know it too.-- Carl Sagan, in Billions and Billions (pg. 81)

I like a line in the Matrix...spoken by Smith. To paraphrase:Humans are a cancer that devour the resources of an area and then move on to the next.Mr. P. The one thing of which I am positive is that there is much of which to be negative - Mr. P.I came to get down, I came to get down. So get out ya seat and jump around - House of PainHEY! Is that a ball in your court? - Mr. PI came to kick ass and chew Bubble Gum...and I am all out of Bubble Gum - They Live, Roddy Piper
