Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!

Hope you and yours are ok, Sue.
As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

Thanks for thinking of me, guys :wave:

Nary a twitch or a wiggle here, but then I am some distance from Vancouver Island.

Makes ya think though......we keep hearing it's a matter or "when, not if" we'll get hit with a big one.

Glad everything's ok!

Something I just wondered: Can you see Vancouver Island from the mainland coast, and vice versa? I'm not sure what the exact distance is.
