that land and water. My heart breaks for you -- and it breaks for myself, too, because every migratory bird nesting place that gets destroyed means a future absence up here at the head of the Mississippi River where I live. All the birds that won't live to gladden the hearts of we northern observers of their cyclic movements.

Our beautiful earth is being diminished, wantonly destroyed by every lost ecosystem, no matter where it happens. The web of life is rent and torn and balance is lost, the rhythm and music is lost, harmony is lost.

How did we reach such a terrible pass? (rhetorical question -- the answer has been obvious for decades...)
