"Many of us believe that there is too much technology in the world today, and that technology is the major source of our environmental pollution. It is the abuse of technology that should be our major concern. In very simple terms a hammer can be used to construct a building, or to kill another person. It is not the hammer, but how it is used, that should be our major concern. -- Jacque Fresco, The Venus Project

Graphic: Purple Flowers: Casey, watercolor by Vera A. Jones She sweeps with many-colored brooms, And leaves the shreds behind; Oh, housewife in the evening west, Come back, and dust the pond! You dropped a purple ravelling in, You dropped an amber thread; And now you've littered all the East With duds of emerald! And still she plies her spotted brooms, And still the aprons fly, Till brooms fade softly into stars - And then I come away. -- Emily Dickinson, She Sweeps With Many-Colored Brooms
