It kind of makes me feel like living on my own island, or on a mountaintop somewhere, but where in the world is safe?

More than ever, this is the time we need independence. We're working here, learning how to build something which will give us that independence.

We also need to maintain strong human bonds, another important element of existence in this forum.

Help is here, when we need it. Relationships are being created.

One day, man will have the knowledge and the technology to control the weather.

One day, God willing, man will evolve into a species capable of peacefully coexisting.

Until then, we can continue to strive to develop our own independence and human bonds, right here in this microcosm of a troubled larger world.
