Listers.....<BR><BR> So that we can
all get nice warm fuzzy about the "progress" we may or not be making in our
mutual quest for a better environment, I would love for each and every one of
us to read the following book. The world without us, by Allen Weisman. The
grim reality is that we are all FU%$ED, sorry for the street language, but
it's true. The hidden devastation to the planet will most likely shock anyone
who has not yet read it.<BR> It
would be interesting to see what would happen if all of us internet connected
folks who really do care, and all of the circle of related contacts knew about
this, and rallied together, might happen. If you think you already know the
extent of how mankind, run by corporations and governments with no soul, has
permanently screwed this planet........you don't.<BR>
While I am an obvious proponent of the work done to clean up the air,
and slow the use of fuels of many kinds, I am sickeningly more aware with
every new page of this book how little our "efforts" will actually help in the
bigger picture. Maybe we need to use some of our "spare time" to expose to the
world what is embodied in this book. Just maybe if EVERYBODY knew about this,
some change might have a chance.<BR><BR> God
Bless Us All......the sands of time run low for our kind.

<DIV>DD It is my belief that mankind has always hurtled on the edge of
disaster. Only when faced with the sudden stop at the edge of the cliff does he
gather up the will to do what is needed to save himself. At the same time if one
studies history, it seems there is always a few persons who see it all coming
and have a solution ready. </DIV>
<DIV> It is our duty if we are blessed with the knowledge
of what is to come, that we have those solutions ready to demonstrate the
plan. That is the best we can do. We cannot stop an asteroid from
destroying the earth either. We may be able to find a cave suitable to seek
shelter from the worst effects and stock it with provisions. </DIV>
