did they die that we might kill the planet?

I don't just think of it on Memorial Day. I think about it all the time. The image that always comes to mind is the ranks of boys jumping off the landing craft onto the beach at Normandy... into almost certain death. I have this thing about gratitude. I could give a fuck less what people say in memoriam. What counts is what you do. You have to live every day of your life in gratitude to those who gave their lives for you, to those who brought you into the world and raised you up, and those whose sustenance you use up with each breath. Are we treating the world as grateful people would?

No. We most certainly are not.
