>This may be hard to believe, but there are some people who've never seen a star in their life whole life. One time power went out in California and people were calling the cops about UFOs and lights in the sky. They didn't know what they were seeing cause they'd never seen it before.

Once I visited a dis-used coal mine in Wales. The guy that took me around showed me stalls, down inside the mine, where ponies were once stabled -- they used ponies to pull carts full of rock and ore out of the mine, back in the day. The ponies lived their lives in the mine, except when they went outside to graze. And they only allowed them to graze at night, because they were born in darkness and worked in darkness and the light of the sun would damage their eyes, and terrify them. Thinking about those poor fucking ponies who lived and died in darkness and never got to see the light of day was the last time I cried.

Until today.
