The urgency ebbs and flows, sometimes hourly, but the threat has remained relatively constant my entire life.

[center]“For the world is in a bad state, but everything will become still worse
unless each of us does his best.
So let us be alert — alert in a twofold sense:

Since Auschwitz we know what man is capable of.

And since Hiroshima we know what is at stake.”

~ Viktor Frankl
