I enjoy this entry. Thanks for posting it.

I'm glad it resonated with you (although naturally I wish the world was such that I'd not had to write it). Thanks for sharing.

My little animal-lover heart is very sad.

What might be more sad than 200,000 dead pelicans - which is very sad indeed - is that the fact that homo sapiens kills somewhere in the neighborhood of several billion animals every year through all forms of environmental foul play is not considered newsworthy, will not be reported anywhere with shock and outrage; it is, simply, the long-accepted proverbial 'cost of doing business.' The interesting paradox of anthropocentrism is that it could very easily in the long run be the very thing that causes our own extinction. But there is you: who you are and what you do is a counterforce to the fire burning a swath through the lifeworld. Easy enough to forget in the grim swell of catastrophe's song, but true.

This post is succinct and brilliant and says all that needs to be said about that whole horrifying situation. Would it be okay with you if I print it out and include it in the assigned reading for my students on Thursday?

Of course; provided that it won't get you into trouble for 'brainwashing students with leftist propaganda.'

I think this poem is succinct and brilliant and is all that needs to be said about the whole horrifying situation. It really is happening, right now, and everyone is just sitting placidly in their living room watching "Dancing With the Stars." The most cliche plaint of the radical left, but no less true for it.

There's still a radical left?!
