Humanity, in its present form has only been around in an eye-blink of the Earth's timeline. Yet, we have managed to create great societies, compose wonderful works of art, control our environment, and bring the world to the brink of total destruction. We have harnessed the atom but not human emotion. We've gone into space and discovered new worlds and still cannot see past our own limitations. I hope that somewhere in this book you find something to rally around besides our differences. I dedicate this to humanity Mike Blacksmith, 2018
