    About this ebook

    Sound the alarm. We have come to great harm. Is it a show of force to demand more civil discourse? Do we stand on the brink of extinction? Death comes to all without distinction. But maybe such a fate can be averted. Many people converted to a new cause. Imagine if it had no flaws, as if governed by its own magic laws. Applause?
