Fire and Ice
-- ROBERT FROST
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Those Who Favor Fire Bob, I agree -- this world will surely end in rampant wildfires. Already, we're burning ourselves up in secret, searing blue coals smoldering in our guts. Where we depart is in the matter of ice; hatred burns as hot as any of love's bonfires. What's cold and frozen, my friend, is indifference, spiritual Antarctica, and that's no place for the world's herds of dragons, hoarding righteous flames in big bellies, guarding mountains of gold.
Suggested soundtrack: Wilco radio.
