For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Re: Happy Earth Day!
I remember earth day during my high school senior year. I had a pickup truck and drove around the county with 2 passengers (no seat belts) gathering up trash. The rest of my class did similar things that day. We were so wild, young and free, yet doing something very constructive. In these days of huge lawsuits and tremendous liability I doubt if the practice continues.
