"My grandmother lived with us for a short time while I was a child. Old people tend to be slightly more eccentric - they can behave the way they want."

We habitually engage in meddling with nature. Until this century most of this meddling was good. Witness the preservation of the European countryside. But since then we've smoked it up and littered it and dumped too much in too many waters. I don't think it's our privilege to behave this way.
