But, in the end, will not man destroy it all? The waters are polluted despite the fact we have people authorized to prevent it, for any excuse to delay pollution is acceptable if there is a dollar in it for somebody. (I wonder if you could drink a dollar?) Our air is going as rapidly and for the same reason. It could be prevented but dollar delays are always granted. (I wonder if you could breathe a dollar?) I know you can see a dollar, and you can hear one if it is rustled among its fellows, but the time could come when all that is left is dollars. Then they will be worthless too.
