I wonder how long the human race actually will survive (especially with our ever-increasing rate of reproduction). Too bad education involves a little effort, considerable expense and concern for the day after tomorrow. If it takes art to pry open the door to knowledge, we should welcome it. But many of us seem too self-indulgent to waste time or money on it all.

I don’t expect to be around much longer, but I have several great grandchildren whose best interests are my own. I can only hope that elementary education will serve them well. I am not a sculptural artist, but I do believe that curiosity is one major route to knowledge. Look how much we have learned since this matter came up to the public.

According to the Internet: ”The current rate of extinction is up to 10,000 times higher than the average historical extinction rates. We, the humans, are almost wholly responsible for this increase. Species are disappearing as you read this. We don't know exactly how many species go extinct every year but it could be 100,000—about 1 every 5 minutes.”
