And this list is hardly celebratory

Also, how can we forget the Doors:

What have they done to the earth?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn
And tied her with fences and dragged her down...

Gads... depressing. I had a bad day-- maybe it's just me.
