Last One Standing

The Earth seems to know it is Spring, but the Heavens unleash the cold and ice.

Tomorrow is Earth Day, and we'll switch off the lights for an hour. As an earlier Globe and Mail article asks, will it all be forgotten on Monday?
David Suzuki says we can do something.

Prison gates won't open up for me
On these hands and knees I'm crawlin'
Oh, I reach for you
Well I'm terrified of these four walls
These iron bars can't hold my soul in
All I need is you
Come please I'm callin'
And oh I scream for you
Hurry I'm fallin'

Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll show you what I can be
Say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me
-- Nickelback, Savin' Me

In the Abyss, Ed Harris' character argues, like a modern-day Abraham, with the Aliens for saving of humanity.

“Suppose the fifty righteous are lacking five, will You destroy the whole city because of five?” And He said, “I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.”
Genesis 18:28

God speaks to Jonah (now out of the whale):

God causes a plant (in Hebrew a kikayon) to grow over Jonah's shelter to give him some shade from the sun. Later, a worm bites the plant's root and it withers. Jonah, now being exposed to the full force of the sun, becomes faint and desires that God take him out of the world.

God says to him, "Are you really so very angry about the little plant?...You were upset about this little plant, something for which you have not worked nor did you do anything to make it grow. It grew up overnight and died the next day. Should I not be even more concerned about Nineveh, this enormous city? There are more than one hundred twenty thousand people in it who do not know right from wrong, as well as many animals!" (Jonah 4:9-11 NET)

I sure hope someone will argue for us. I think we will need it.
