I found this quote. It is one of my favorites. I wanted to give Norm a chance to remember it or hear it for the first time. It is from the NOVA Convention. You might have been a teen then, Norm.
"If we see the earth as a spaceship and go further to invoke the comparison of a lifeboat, it is of course of vital concern to everybody on the boat if the crew or the passengers start polluting their supply of food and water, distributing supplies on a grossly inequitable basis, knocking holes in the bottom of the boat, or worst of all trying to blow the boat out from under us." William Burroughs
That old junky sure had some insight. This is for Graci as well... What you note about the stupidity of folks wrecking the environment has been going on for some time now.
Maybe you can find more NOVA Convention insight online; this is what I found. I do have the "cassette tapes of the performers including Laurie Anderson, Terry Southern and John Giorno.
Hope to see you guys at Meet the Bloggers tonight and catch up after a long time away...
