MANKIND MAKING SELF ENDANGERED SPECIES

LET "THEM" burn, chop and destroy the rain forest, the chief bodyguard of the cooling system on our planet. When mankind dies off due to the lack of rain and winter and thus water, the Earth will renew, without the human race. When everything is growing and going good again, the Earth will not ask man to come out and play ever again.

Take a moment to think about what money can buy. Not much when man doesn't exist to build that mall, or assemble that car, or exploit that animal to put on a table, or even build that table.

It was said that the ox is slow, but the Earth is patient. If we don't start now, the Earth will not endure without complaint. Take a stand for something worthwhile, the place we all live. SANDRA H. DEARING SALEM
