I have for the past few years been compiling a list of quotes.  It is
currently around 47k or so.  Should I post it?  If I do I would post it by
moderately arbitrary topic divisions that I've put into it.

I've seen a decent percentage of it floating around the net, but certainly not
all of it.  I will of course, leave out all of the quotes I've just grabbed
off alt.quotations that I plan on adding to it in the near future :)

The sad truth is that the corpus of her work is not large, and the
memorable work that remains is largely couplets (she originated "Men
seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses") and witticisms.  She was
a capable and promising writer whose lifestyle prevented her from
performing major focused efforts.

Parker was probably mentally ill (manic-depressive) and became
self-destructive through alcoholism, obsessive sexual behaviors, and
several suicide attempts. Although she lived until the 1960s, her really
good literary work was only during the 20s and 30s.

On the other hand, in addition to her journalistic efforts, she was
There At The Creation.  Her friends and associates included the Lost
Generation writers (F Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, ...) and all
the major literary and theater figures of those times.  She was one of
the original staff writers at the birth of The New Yorker magazine and
was a regular (for Parker, anyway) contributer to the great periodicals
of the day:  Vanity Fair, Vogue, etc.

Her anti-Fascist activities earned her a grilling before Joe McCarthy's
HUAC in the 50's. She basically told them, "I am who I am, I've done
what I've done, and you can go to hell."  Cowed by the thought of
sending a famous woman to a prison cell, the McCarthy crowd dropped
charges against her and let her alone.  The left-wing taint, however,
coupled with her already damaging reputation for being unreliable about
writing assignments (a combination of laziness, poor work ethic, and
alcoholism) caused offers for work to disappear.

At best, Parker was a difficult person to like; she could be (and was)
nasty and vicious publicly to even her best friends.  Robert Benchley was
probably the only friend she never turned on.

Sadly, tragically, Parker was alone, mostly forgotten, penniless, and 
essentially blind when she died in 1967.  She made the grave error of
outliving both her friends and her times.

You know I've heard about people like me,
But I never made the connection,
They walk one road to set them free,
and find they've gone the wrong direction,
but there's no need for turning back,
for all roads lead to where I stand,
and I believe I've walked them all,

Being fruitful, and multiplying, and replenishing also do not mean destroying
or wasting or abusing.  Especially replenishing.

My point is, the quote by the original poster (by Lynn White, Jr.) puts the 
problems of ecology everywhere in the world squarely at the feet of 
Christianity.  No mention of weather patterns, or cultural shifts, or
mineral content, or individual concern.  This is a mistake.  Although it
may be stated that some Christians are not doing all they can to "save the
world," that can be stated about just about anyone.  The Genesis account
makes it clear that God created people to take care of the world, to make
it last, to enable it to supply the needs of people and animals.

The concept of eating meat addressed in the previous article is entirely
another matter, and I will not discuss it here.

Quoting from Webster's New World Dictionary, second college edition:

	sub-due vt. [...] 1. to bring into subjection; conquer; vanquish   
	[...]  5. to bring (land) under cultivation - SYN. see CONQUER

	re-plen-ish vt. [...] 1. to make full or complete again, as by 
	furnishing a new supply [...]

Unless you've got a different dictionary, there is nothing on the same
continent as "hopelessly contrary" in these two words.  If you go with
definition (1) of subdue, you have "dominion," which you seem to think
everyone agrees we have; if you go with (5), you have essentially "to
farm."  The other three definitions of subdue admittedly do not seem to
make sense in this context.

The relationship between subduing and replenishing the earth is summed
up nicely in the sig.

With this in mind (all from Dorothy Parker):

NEITHER BLOODY NOR BOWED

They say of me, and so they should,
It's doubtful if I come to good.
I see acquaintances and friends
accumulating dividends,
and making enviable names
in science, art, and parlor games.
But I despite expert advice,
keep doing things I think are nice,
and though to good I never come
inseperable my nose and thumb.


SANCTUARY
My land is bare of chattering folk;
the clouds are low along the ridges,
and sweet's the air with curly smoke
from all my burning bridges.

Ducking for apples - change one letter and it's the story of my life.

Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,
A medley of extemporanea;
And love is thing that can never go wrong;
And I am Marie of Romania.

"I wanted only to try to live in accord
with the promptings which came from my true self.
Why was that so very difficult?"
