TECHNOLOGY

Our love affair with the machine depersonalizes, withers sensitivity, blunts intellectuality, wipes out artistic impulse, destroys populations in push-button war, exhausts resources, maximizes cruelty, and perverts us into insensate robots! Henry Ratliff

SAD

Isn't it pitiful the big three, America-Russia-China, don't disarm and join to employ-feed-clothe-shelter-healteach humankind?!   Henry Ratliff

Sisters/Bros.

LAIRS-KILLERS-BANDITS

Long as we allow ourselves to be ruled from the Potomac by scoundrels wrapped in the flag, in one of history's most evil concentrations of power, we cannot expect a better day!   Henry Ratliff

EPITAPH TO A DEAD PLANET

Never learned to nip in the bud anger to hatred to violence to fury to madness to destruction!   Henry Ratliff

Sisters/Bros.

WAR

No matter who starts a fight, all are guilty who participate. Whoever wins a war is no winner at all. No such thing as just or holy war. In any belligerency the furles take over, madness prevails.

At end of history's bloodiest century, spiritual bankruptcy deepens, self-control runs out and compulsion to pull nuclear trigger becomes irresistible!   Henry Ratliff
