I understood when I was just a child that without water, everything dies. I didn't understand until much later that no one "owns" water. It might rise on your property, but it just passes through.

We are learning more about the humanity of the unborn child. Science and truth support the prolife movement. — Candice S. Miller

Men's contribution, made at night, need not be lost in the dark. — Warren Farrell
