"I would rather
be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn
out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry
rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in a
magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The
proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not
waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my
time."

Forgetting the night sky for a moment and getting down to earth, I feel that in the not-to-distant future we're all going to have to get good at farming again, or possibly go hungry. Not to be an alarmist but I've read too many recent stories to think that this couldn't happen here in America. I recently purchased my own survival seed kit. It's a small price to pay for peace of mind and to make sure my family does have food, just in case the worst happens.
