D-Day

Just sitting here thinking of all those men of unbelievable courage who went ashore on this day, all those years ago--and of the uncountable lost lives that might otherwise have been lived... and of all those other lives that have been sacrificed, since then, to senseless acts of war. We should each spend an hour each day in contemplation of pictures from the Hubble telescope, remembering that, once we have succeeded in eliminating our species from the face of the Earth, the Universe will get along quite nicely without us.
