Gasp and Grasp Federal, state and local authorities in quiet cooperation with nearly all the news media have expediently chosen never to mention the now impending death of our living Earth, ecocide caused by the growing mass of pollution ignorantly dumped by our growing mass of humanity seven billion and counting on this slowly shrinking and fatally poisoned planet -- whatever we might say ignored to avoid panic and even more chaos and violence than our psychotic species habitually perpetrates against itself somewhere in the World twenty four hours a day. Yet Earth might survive with each nihilistic religious fanatic and pandemic disease amassing to slaughter almost every human alive.
