When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect. ~ ~ For many of us, water simply flows from a faucet, and we think little about it beyond this point of contact. We have lost a sense of respect for the wild river, for the complex workings of a wetland, for the intricate web of life that water supports. ~ ~ That land is a community is the basic concept of ecology, but that land is to be loved and respected is an extension of ethics. ~ ~ Football is like life -- it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority. ~ ~ Football brings out the sociologist that lurks in some otherwise respectable citizens.
