Humans - despite their artistic pretensions, their sophistication, and their many accomplishments - owe their existence to a six-inch layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains.
i wasn't aware that kevin's post was in regard to convervation of topsoil and water, i assumed it just to be a statement to stimulate conversation.......but now, i notice that "qotd" means "quote of the day"....so, exactly what context was this quote taken from?.....who said it?....did it have to do with conservation?....or just the arrogance of the human species?.....
I'm not quite sure how he meant it, but I took it as a conservation message. Human civilization is so very dependent on a few crucial things-- like topsoil and rain. And it's so ironic and stupid that we're not taking better care of those things. It's like we're building a castle directly over the quarry we're pulling stone from.
Sorry, I should have attributed it to "Source Unknown."
I appreciate the quote because of its message of conservation and about priorities, but I didn't expect the conversation to revolve only around those issues.

And I knew somebody would bring up the sun.
