I sit here and type this on a day where we will hit triple digits outside. That is not normal. I look forward to the day we as a specie treat this planet with loving care. I also look forward to the day we as humans treat animals with the dignity they deserve.

I look forward to this much in the same ways those who have strong spiritual beliefs. I have cynical faith in my mind that somewhere along the line we will figure it out and work toward a unitary solution.
