“We come here because we too feel a responsibility for the human community. To preserve and develop a human quality of life is the common responsibility of us all. It is not fitting that those concerned with the various aspects of the human be alienated from each other.

The urgency of our work impels us to get on with our common task lest a new period of disaster erupt over the Earth.”

Especially since I don't know any females who are dying to their their hands on a set of balls. The way I see it, the less balls, the better.”
