It’s All Connected: A Q&A With USA’s John Lehrter

“We’ve been very blessed in Alabama. We’ve traditionally had low population density in the watershed. One of the reasons I love living here is just being able to get up in the Delta. Ten minutes from here and I can be in this vast wilderness that is not only aesthetically beautiful but also providing all of these essential life-support services for humankind and I think we take that for granted. But it’s not a guarantee that it’s going to be there in the future. So I think the average citizen just needs to be aware that we’re all connected to this, and that there are limits to growth and how much humans can exploit our resources.”

The Crichton Leprechaun Song

I live in Mobile with the leprechaun
I want the gold from the green jolly mon
I shine my light but I can’t see enough
Some say he’s a crackhead who got the wrong stuff

Gonna take my backhoe gonna root up his tree
Leprechaun make a shadow when the people try to see
People draw the leprechaun make him look like a fool
Leprechaun gonna teach them the golden rule

Everybody see the leprechaun
Everybody see the lеprechaun
Everybody see the lеprechaun

Say yeah
Say yeah

Leprechaun he don’t live anymore around here
City chopped down his tree and the cops took his beer
I miss the leprechaun and it makes me feel cold
Due to the inflation we all need the gold

Everybody miss the leprechaun …..
