To quote some cartoon figure...( Was it from “Pogo”?)
I am so old (82nd year) that you guys might have to look it up for me.... I never have forgotten it - since it seemed so apt way back then in yesteryear.
“We have met the enemy, and it is us”
I think we are now there, and we made this mess, and not sure why the age old cycle has to work this way, but it does.
Pogo was deeper than the swamps. Much deeper.
