SNEAK PEEK

I won't be doing my next give-away until later this month, but I have already chosen which book to give next, and am having a great time looking back through it, and noting the things that I hi-lited the first time around. I'm not going to reveal what it is, or who wrote it yet, but I'm going to give you some teasers. It was written back in '93. I had read several tomes like Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, and they just scared the bejeebers out of me. Then this guy came along, and though he ranted and raved too, he was just so damned funny sometimes, I really didn't mind. Now that I think about it, I guess I do have to tell you his name - can't use a quote without a name, now can I?

"We...bought chemicals to calm our fits, dry our pits, clean our mitts, expand our tits...Have we gone and lost our collective bloody minds?!!! Or are we simply bored? Have our lives become so meaningless and empty that we have to fill every moment with a toy? If that's so, it's sad. Sad that we might turn the universe's only living planet into a monstrous monument to the boredom of us all." Ferenc Mate

(Sound like Wall-e? Remember, this was written 25 years ago!)
