oh, my.

I had a feeling I was opening some worm cans yesterday, but I am delighted by the thoughts of each of your fasincating responses. This is a very exciting discussion to me. And I agree with each of you on many points. We're not talking easy here - these are real, complex dilemmas that we face as we as modern people try to cope with our beloved world that is careening so scarily into the red zone...not to be totally alarmist because I am basically very positive about our collective future. Anyway, all of your thoughts are very compelling, and I need a little time to digest before responding with greater appreciation.

Thanks, guys. You all are so wonderful.
