This we know:  all things are connected like the blood which unites one family.  All things are connected.  Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth.  Man did not weave the web of life.  He is merely a strand of it.  Whatever he does to the web he does to himself. ~Chief Seattle

Titanic Lifeboat Academy"Just as the Titanic was thought to be unsinkable, so we’ve grown to believe our culture and lifestyle will continue forever, but they are taking on water. Fast. Like the Titanic, our current culture is on a collision course with the triune iceberg (Peak Oil, Climate Change & Population Overshoot), without enough “lifeboats.” We need to start building them now!"
