      Finally we have a good usage for the nuclear waste warnings, we put all the copies of their music there.

      "This place is a message… and part of a system of messages… pay attention to it!

      Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture.

      This place is not a place of honor… no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here… nothing valued is here.

      What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.

      The danger is in a particular location… it increases towards a center… the center of danger is here… of a particular size and shape, and below us.

      The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours."

        If you’re hearing this, then there is still hope. Hope that you can avoid making the same mistakes we made.
