I totally agree with you Yorik on the failings of fission.. I really think they need to put more money into the fusion projects. I would also agree that who would be hurt by a truely massive solar collection farm out in a desert except that in the USA there are...ummm "advocates" for every environment and they would never stand for it. I guess that in other countries than the USA there are fewer regulations and political action groups that impede progress. One of our major problems in this country is that the agents of change are nearly perfectly balanced with those who would maintain the status quo...thus nothing ever gets done

No Offense Diogenese I think the environmental wacko's are kooks...But I don't think all people who care about the envrionment are wacko's either. I care for the environment as well. Especially since I spend a goodly portion of my free time in the wilderness. I carry out anything I take in and I try to leave the place the way I found it. Course I also carry a gun and am a wacko myself when it comes to what I consider the ridiculous attempts at curing societies ills by passing laws against things that are already illegal. So I can poke fun at myself as well as at the "wacko's" And I really didn't have anyone in particular in mind when I made that post.
Ahh we are all wacko's you and boo and I....Hampsters and wacko's everywhere Rejoice ------------------ Disintigration is easy, If you really want to impress me, ReIntegrate it. |

I agree with pretty much every point you make in the above post. I AGREE, Yorick!! But please don't rule population OUT of the picture. It is very much IN it! Yes some parents do CHOOSE to have large families, and other do so because it is traditional, and yet others because infantile mortality is high and the children are an insurance policy. But all too often they do NOT choose to have large families. They are virtually forced to. Because their religion forbids birth control in any form but abstinence from sex. How many couples will be able to handle abstinence? And if the wife does because she can't cope with more children, then often and often the husband looks elsewhere and sometimes comes home with something nasty. These people often live in dire poverty, struggling to feed children they don't want and can't afford. If they could CHOOSE how many children to have, then they would have sufficient to care for them properly, the mother's health woulld be better, and hopefully the father need not look elsewhere for sex. They would all be much happier. But, no. Birth control is forbidden and millions of people continue to live in grinding poverty. Apologies for any insult, Yorick. Didn't mean any. I like you, remember? ------------------ [This message has been edited by Fljotsdale (edited 09-06-2001).] |

This is what bugs me when people say, what do we do get rid of the cars and ride horses? Why can't we change cars to be less pollutant?
