Hi Philip,
Do not give up on this really valuable resource. I think the statement
could have been thought through a little more :) Although, I think the fact
that man and womankind sometimes act worse than animals, but also rise up to
angel status as well, speaks to the real violent and benevolent tool here,
our mind. Used correctly we can ascend the hieghts, incorrectly the gutter.
Unfortunately in America we are choosing to elect officials with more of an
allegiance to a base materialistic money hungry business world rather than
to those few officials who are in touch with our environmental legacy. It
may be a consolation to know and realize that many of these types of huge
environmentally industries are on their way out due to depletion of
resources, namely oil, coal, etc ..etc. as we are moving further into the
information age. Let's hope we aren't too late.
Best,
Mark
