[Bobbie's mouth twists. A few months ago, she would have judged him much more harshly, but she's changed her tune a bit after going to Earth and spending so much time with Chrisjen and Cotyar. Still a lifetime of propaganda doesn't go away that easily.]
Most Earthers take what they've been given for granted. The ocean I saw was a garbage dump, and it was still one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. The UN undersecretary I was working with said she hadn't made a point to go down to the beach for years, even though it was practically on her doorstep. The universe sets you down on the only habitable planet in the system, and most of you don't even seem to care if it stays habitable.
