More From Aldo Leopold

If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence

I've always thought the american eagle needed a left wing and a right wing. the right wing would see to it that economic interests had their legitimate concerns addressed. the left wing would see to it that ordinary people were included in the bargain. both would keep the great bird on course. but with two right wings or two left wings, it's no longer an eagle and it's going to crash.
