G'morning Bbo,

 MM> Seems to me that we're dealing with a ball of wax here that
 MM> actually has several major facets that could be wrapped up
 MM> in concerns such as...

 MM> 1.  The tribes of man are wonderful diverse culturally and
 MM> ought to be preserved...

 BK>  That I'm not too concerned about. I consider it impossible, in
 BK>  the long run.

 MM> 2.  The discoveries of man scratch at the fabric of the
 MM> universe and ought to be encouraged...

 MM> 3.  The spread of man pollutes this bit of that universe
 MM> and ought to be better managed... (especially on the North
 MM> Shore here in Auckland, New Zealand)...

 MM> 4.  The discriminative learning of man that enabled 2 and 3
 MM> above ought to be suppressed in reference to the
 MM> intermingling of man's tribes...

 MM> Seeing such discriminations laid out underlines for me the
 MM> dangerous downside of our current economic wisdoms
 MM> (economics is NOT and NEVER CAN BE a science) in laying
 MM> efficient waste to Earth's non-renewable resources ...

 BK>  Ya think so? Yeah, I see it too.

 MM> After which prononcement,  I think I'll sneak back into my
 MM> mountain cave and have a little lie down...

 BK>  Good idea.

And the sun came out yesterday - in contrast to 2004 being the 
coldest, wettest year in recorded memory down here;   a week of 
this and I'll get over the SAD's (Seasonally Affected Depressions) 
at last !!!

:-))
