Quoting Mary Oliver to convey how utterly horrendous and misguided enacting this bill would be! "I would say that there exist a thousand unbreakable links between each of us and everything else, and that our dignity and our changes are one. The farthest star and the mud at our feet are a family; and there is no decency or sense in honoring one thing, or a few things, and then closing the list. The pine tree, the leopard, the Platte River, and ourselves - we are at risk together, or we are on our way to a sustainable world together. We are each other's destiny.”

~Mary Oliver, exerpt from "Winter Hours" found in Upstream, Selected Essays (pub. 2016)
