Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect. Chief Seattle, 1854 When all the trees have been cut down, when all the animals have been hunted, when all the waters are polluted, when all the air is unsafe to breathe, only then will you discover you cannot eat money. Cree Prophecy "Our land is everything to us... I will tell you one of the things we remember on our land. We remember that our grandfathers paid for it - with their lives." - John Wooden Leg, Cheyenne You must teach your children that the ground beneath their feet is the ashes of your grandfathers. So that they will respect the land, tell your children that the earth is rich with the lives of our kin. Teach your children what we have taught our children, that the earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves. ~Iroquois~ |

Some fix, that. We only have ourselves to go on, and it’s enough…" -Charles Bukowski "Grasping at things can only yield one of two results: Either the thing you are grasping at disappears, or you yourself disappear. It is only a matter of which occurs first." -Goenka |

I know I know the story is from last year, but still is interesting and maybe there are some that haven't seen this. |

Human women too: piercing the egg can force development of a clone of the woman. Technically then every woman could live forever as long as she gave birth to her own clones through the generations. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7061314 She doesnt live forever. Each body suit has its own soul. If you clone something its just your twin, new soul though. I've read articles about virgin births years ago. It happens every so many thousand births apparently randomly. Always a twin.

Do not go quietly into the good night. Rage Rage against the dying light! |
