There is grandeur in this view of life,
with its several powers,
having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one;
and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on
according to the fixed law of gravity,
from so simple a beginning
endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful
have been, and are being, evolved.
—Darwin, concluding On the Origin of Species in 1859

Happy Darwin Day!

personally, i would like the consequences to fall on those most able to cope. but then i don’t care if some people are rich – what i care about is how that distorts power and interests.
