Very Vermont

Have you ever been to Vermont in late September, God? It's one thing to create amazing panoramas of colorful trees, but you should go undercover and experience it as we do. If you did, I bet you would make more of Earth look and feel like New England in fall foliage season. You might also want to transport the overwhelming sense of peace, comfort and tranquility that nature can provide to more areas of the world.

Next time, shoot for more Vermont in autumn and less Mexico City or Mumbai in summer. Would you agree that many cities are overcrowded and teeming with slums, crime, hopelessness, etc? I realize that we're responsible for the messes we create. But I wish you would do more to discourage us from making choices that lead to dreadful conditions like these. I know you're going to play the "free will" card here. But we didn't ask for free will. Most of us don't even deserve it, quite frankly. Let us earn free will, like we earn everything else in life.

Meanwhile, you will have evenly distributed scenic wonders so that no one has to travel more than an hour to be awed by nature. I'm not sure these two thoughts are in any way connected, but I wanted to plant them in your ear while my trip to Vermont is still fresh in my mind. Whatever you decide to do, have a little fun with it!
