Montana's problems are somewhat interesting. We can understand and empathize with them because we face many of the same kinds of problems. In comparison with the disaster that occurred on Easter Island described in Chapter Two: Twilight at Easter, however, the problems our country faces (at least the short term ones) seem like small potatoes. Fascinating! Read on. What struck me was the absence of any easy answers. There are people of good will but they cannot agree. The issue of the long term effects of mining of non-renewable resources is more difficult and profound than I realized. I see no solution other than to hold the companies responsible at least in part. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
