This is a beautiful planet and not at all fragile. Earth can withstand significant volcanic eruptions, tectonic cataclysms, and ice ages.

(Quote by - Michael L. Fischer)

That's the way I look at recreation. That's why I'll be a big conservation, environmental President, because I plan to fish and hunt as much as I possibly can. (Quote by - George Bush)

We could have saved the Earth but we were too damned cheap. (Quote by - Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.)

(Quote by - Lewis Mumford)
