[at-l] NYTimes on Erwin, TN Uranium Spill

[David Addleton]

We live in a universe in which nobody really cares . . .
We live in a universe in which anybody who is somebody is just another
collection of atoms, a Mandlelbrotian collection of particles or points . .
.
We THINK there's someone above us who cares . . .
but there isn't . . .
nor is there anyone beside us
or below
who isn't just a Mandlebrotian collection of particles . . .
get used to it . . .
enjoy it before the uranium or the helium or the hydrogen
consumes you . . .
