We have left undone those things we ought to have done;
And we have done those things we ought not to have done;
And there is no health in us.

The Book of Common Prayer, 1662

What a piece of work is Man!
He can, in a generation, make
a desert from a fertile plain
or, in one decade lay waste
great forests, flood a valley,
and each day destroys a species
whose perfect fitness to survive
took many epochs to achieve.

In a microsecond's flash, he can
destroy himself and all his works
and leave the world a shattered place
fit for beetles only, lowly things
that crawl beneath the feet of Man,
having no ambition, no cosmic dream -
no will to dominate at all.

Bravo!
Too bad you speak the truth.
Most people actually prefer to read the fantasy. We are all OK. We are in charge of the future. We always mean well. We are a reflection of the holy spirit. We are....

I'm taking your remarks in my thread as an insult, so do me the favour of not responding to any of my threads again.

You might consider these words you write here a little more carefully when you insult other peoples country, or is it just lip service meant to impress.

Thanks Midnite

Sorry Parker, what are you talking about? Which thread are you talking about? If you find something I said to be insulting please feel free to point it out to me. I assure my intention is never to insult any author a thread. There are threads where I might joke, as for example with the one about what makes us American or Canadian. I have cousins in Vancouver and in Toronto, they are all Canadian by birth. I wouldn't insult my cousins and I would not insult you for where you live. Humblest apologies if you took it that way.
