it can be said that the human race has been at war with the environment since the agricultural revolution, but it only started to become a serious problem in the last century. it will become much, much worse in this century. some estimates are that we will reach critical mass in four more years, and then the problem will correct itself... jon _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
