We are women and men, blacks and whites, Moslems and Christians. The dividing lines increase daily with each new issue. They cross and recross one another so frequently that yesterday's enemy may become today's ally. It is clear that we have fallen out of balance with the Earth. Electric lights have blotted out the night sky and we cannot see the stars.
Heaters tame the winter, air conditioners cool the summer.
Summer fruits arrive from the South in the winter. We have broken the link with time, with the seasons, and with the Earth. When we speed across a prairie that's been covered with tar at 65 miles per hour we defy the laws of nature. We are faster than the cheetah. When we fly at 20,000 feet we cheat the laws of gravity.
