I thought you would let me go on a little longer.
I'm sorry. I have a message that I really think is important.
What can I say? Every one of us is 60% to 70% water, by weight. Without water for four to six days, we die. Drinking contaminated water, we sicken. Therefore, surely clean water should be sacred. It is our right, our duty to protect it.
Every bit of our food was once alive. [Technical difficulty—Editor] was in the soil. We can survive four to six weeks, but we'll die without food. Polluted food will sicken us, so surely clean soil and clean food should be up there with clean air and clean water.
Every bit of the energy in our bodies that we need to move, grow, reproduce, and work, all of that is sunlight captured by plants and photosynthesis and stored in molecules of energy. The miracle of life on earth is that these four elements—earth, air, fire, and water—are delivered to us by the web of all living things.
I'm really sorry. I have 30 seconds to go.
These elements are the very foundation of life and health, of every human being in society, yet they are ignored or dismissed as we try to force nature to fit our constructs, like the boundaries we draw around property, cities, provinces, and nations, and concepts like capitalism, communism, free enterprise, religions, markets, currency, corporations, economies, governments, and properties. These are not forces of nature. They are human constructs, yet we [Technical difficulty—Editor] that nature conforms to our needs and ideas, rather than altering our creations to conform to nature's law.
It's absolutely absurd to think that we can impose our notions on the rest of creation as if we are in command. Remember, nature always laughs last.
