We're told cars are wasteful. wasteful of what? oil did a lot of good sitting in the ground for millions of years. we're told cars should be replaced with mass transportation. but it's hard to reach the drive-through window at mcdonald's from a speeding train. and we're told cars cause pollution. a hundred years ago city streets were ankle deep in horse excrement. what kind of pollution do you want? would you rather die of cancer at eighty or typhoid fever at nine?

Everyone who’s born has come from the sea. your mother’s womb is just a sea in small. and birds come of seas on eggs. horses lie in the sea before they’re born. the placenta is the sea. your blood is the sea continued in your veins. we are the ocean — walking on the land.
