Modern science presupposes a radical reshaping of our whole mental outlook. It involves a new approach to being, a new approach to nature, in short, a new philosophy. Borne over the last few centuries on the wave of the excitement of formulating and applying this new philosophy, we have tended to take it for granted that it represents a great break-through, a marvellous advance on the part of mankind, even a sign of our coming of age. Now that we begin to see the consequences of our capitulation to it — and we are only now beginning to see these consequences — we are not so sure. But even so it is difficult for us to admit that, far from being an advance, the whole modern scientific experiment may be a ghastly failure. Yet there is no reason why it should not be. One has to judge things by their fruits. And one of the fruits of modern science, clear for all to see, and implicit in the philosophy on which it is based, is the dehumanization both of man and of the society that he has built in its name.

Some old fogeys were talkin' to some kids:
"I don't own a tv.'
"What?" "Why not?" "How could you not have a tv?"
"I never really wanted one."
"What do you do for fun?"
"Drive on down to Watersmeet and back."
"I don't own a tv.'

Upon Keweenaw's tranquil bay,
Two fishermen set out that day.
With lines cast deep and spirits high,
They sought to make their skillful try.
But fate had other plans in store,
As tragedy struck near the shore.
Two lives were lost, too soon, too swift,
Leaving loved ones lost, adrift.
Though gone from us, their memory stays,
Of joyful times and fishing days.
In Keweenaw, their presence felt,
Where nature's beauty ever dwelt.
We honor now these men so brave,
Who to the sport their hearts they gave.
Their spirits now forever free,
At peace upon the endless sea.

If you are a wagie (I'm sorry), when you go to work, bring equipment with that will allow you to cook there. This way, you can avoid both fast food and eating a cold lunch. If you do not do this, you are a coward and I do not respect you.
