"Well, why didn't the silly Bloomians think of that?"
"Religion, I imagine, friend Chance. Religion serves to prevent thought in many cases, and I'd say it had done so here.

Additional quotes by Sheri S. Tepper
On that far horizon the Sandia Mountains stand behind their outliers in receding gradations of gray or blue or violet, paper cutouts against the lighter sky, vanishing into night when the lights of the city come on. Then the stars look down and the air is sweet with piñon smoke as centuries-old nut-bearing trees are burned for the momentary pleasure of those who, unlike the native peoples, never think of the food the trees produce.
