Step out on a treeless plain, 
Earth scoured with monsoon ruts.
It's not that we never learn, 
Just   not   fast    enough!

What I fear is the low-down basic belief, often unspoken or even realized, that (1) God is managing everything and will reveal to us the outcome (while we read the funnies) and (2) We are his creation and therefore he will not allow us to suffer too greatly, let alone perish! Yeah, I know, all I'm doing is to write! Eliz
