A telling picture

Now that drilling in the Gulf of Mexico is back up to speed, I 'm reminded of this pic I found when the Macondo well was spewing full-tilt. Couldn't be a better representation of where we seem to be headed...as a country and a world.

When I have considered the enormity of the white man's crimes ... I think in perfect harmony with my sister of long ago: Let the earth marinate in poisons. Let the bombs cover the ground like rain. For nothing short of total destruction will ever teach them anything.

Alice Walker, on Zora Neale Hurston
