Re: thanks again...
McFly — (archived)

My preference would be to have these things accomplished by education rather than rule of law or rule of force or rule of nature...

Amen to that. I try to remain somewhat optimistic, if only for my own sanity.

Sure, I agree that there could be problems, potentially serious. But I also think Tom could be correct when he points out that our understanding of the issue has been badly clouded by politics. Lifting those clouds could prove a Herculean task, to say the least. We're political creatures, and everything we do is tainted by that grimey brush.

Anyway, thanks for your post. I'm at work now and am not able to spend the time that would be required to do justice to your thoughts. I certainly agree that the issue is best approached through education rather than law. I'm a beleiver in science, technology and--yes--capitalism. "The Market" is, essentially, an expression of the will of the community. A community interested in quality of life drives corporate interests in that very same direction.
