History proves that humanity has no sure protection against the rise of totalitarianism. While democracy is the best hope, it’s no guarantee that some variety of dictatorship will not haunt the world again. The Age of the Dictators and their systems may be over, but totalitarianism remains a slumbering threat. 

The whole planet is being assaulted by human beings and human activity, and environmental pollution is a serious concern. In all of this, reverence for God’s creation and humility in dealing with it are key to our survival.
