Why should we care? what difference does it make if some species are extinguished, if even half of all the species on
earth disappear? let me count the ways. new sources of scientific information will be lost. vast potential biological
wealth will be destroyed. still undeveloped medicines, crops, pharmaceuticals, timber, fibers, pulp, soil-restoring
vegetation, petroleum substitutes, and other products and amenities will never come to light. it is fashionable in some
quarters to wave aside the small and obscure, the bugs and weeds, forgetting that an obscure moth from latin americ
saved australia's pastureland from overgrowth by cactus, that the rosy periwinkle provided the cure for hodgkin's
disease and childhood lymphocytic leukemia, that the bark of the pacific yew offers hope for victims of ovarian and
breast cancer, that a chemical from the saliva of leeches dissolves blood clots during surgery, and so on down a roster
already grown long and illustrious despite the limited research addressed to it.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

now, of course, the quality and the seasonability of these winter dreams varied, but the stuff of them remained.   they persuaded dexter several years later to pass up a business course at the state university—his father, prospering now, would have paid his way—for the precarious advantage of attending an older and more famous university in the east, where he was bothered by his scanty funds. but do not get the impression, because his winter dreams happened to be concerned at first with musings on the rich, that there was anything merely snobbish in the boy. he wanted not association with glittering things and glittering people—he wanted the glittering things themselves. often he reached out for the best without knowing why he wanted it—and sometimes he ran up against the mysterious denials and prohibitions in which life indulges.
