Never Let Go

just another inspired thought... about the latest form of christinsanity... the preachers of armageddon / rapture. while by far, our species' residence on this earth is uncertain, and at some point quite possibly set for doom, there is no need to invoke a religious connection. i feel rather strongly (similar to E.O. Wilson), that it is downright irresponsible and disgusting to even comprehend people looking forward to such a time, when they believe our god-given stewardship "over" nature is futile, and our existence on a pretermined course of destruction. what worse way could we possibly imagine to give up all hope for earth's (and our) ecology and our dear planet's ecosystems? in this vein, i place a lyric here by an underrated prog band, Camel. peace.

Never Let Go - Camel

Crazy preachers of our doom
Telling us there is no room.
Not enough for all mankind
And the seas of time are running dry.
Don't they know it's a lie...

Man is born with the will to survive,
He'll not take no for an answer.
He will get by, somehow he'll try,
He won't take no, never let go, no...

I hear them talk about Kingdom Come,
I hear them discuss Armageddon...
They say the hour is getting late,
But I can still hear someone say,
This is not the way...

Man is born with the will to survive,
He'll not take no for an answer.
He will get by, somehow he'll try,
He won't take no, never let go, no...
