This is only one part of the destruction equation!

As an integral part of creed, if the right consumption leads to re-invention and conservation then expansion of proportional society is ensured. Was Dorothy crazy enough to figure out how to save society?!

These are the kind of quotes, i long for.

Those even an old snake can take something appliable home from. Especially from the fact that in this case this seemingly looks totally counter-intuitive at first glance.

Thanks for posting.
