“The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder.”   —   Jacques Cousteau

(Jacques loved the sea, as he loved and respected all nature.  He believed that we need to practice population control, saying “What should we do to eliminate suffering and disease? It’s a wonderful idea but perhaps not altogether a beneficial one in the long run. If we try to implement it we may jeopardize the future of our species…It’s terrible to have to say this. World population must be stabilized and to do that we must eliminate 350,000 people per day. This is so horrible to contemplate that we shouldn’t even say it. But the general situation in which we are involved is lamentable”.  He died in 1997 when the world’s human population was 5.9 Billion.  Today we’re at 7.9 Billion!  2 billion more people in just 25 years should be scaring the heck out of all of us.  Yet we do nothing.  Sigh.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“A scientist is a curious man looking through the keyhole of nature, trying to know what’s going on.”   —   Jacques Cousteau

(I guess that makes me a scientist then!  Maybe I should apply for a professorship somewhere!  We welcome Jacques to the Cryptoquote Club today!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
