Thin Red Line

Before we push that button and make far away places with names we cannot pronounce glow in the dark, let us take a minute and think: There is always a thin line between sanity and madness. There's not some other world out there where everything is going to be okay. There's just this one, just this rock. And when it is ruined, polluted, wasted or destroyed, we will be too. Will this pause your finger?

"This great evil. Where does it come from? How'd it steal into the world? What seed, what root did it grow from? Who's doin' this? Who's killin' us? Robbing us of life and light. Mockin' us with the sight of what we might've known. Does our ruin benefit the earth? Does it help the grass to grow, the sun to shine? Is this darkness in you, too? Have you passed to this night?"
- Private Edward P. Train
