To lighten up this discussion a bit, and slightly off-topic, the chorus I
sing in will soon be doing a concert of Ralph Vaughan Williams pieces, and
our conductor did some research for the program notes and learned:
"His mother was an heiress to the Wedgewood manufacturing fortune; his
great uncle, and a favorite baby sitter, was Charles Darwin... Ralph
once asked his mother, who was a reliably stern Christian, about "The
Origin of Species" and what it meant. She answered: 'The Bible says that
God made the world in six days, Great Uncle Charles thinks it took
longer; but we need not worry about it, for it is equally wonderful
either way.'"
1880's: "There's lots of good fish in the sea" W.S. Gilbert
1990's: Many fish stocks depleted due to overfishing, habitat loss,
and pollution.
2000's: Marine reserves, ecosystem restoration, and pollution reduction
MAY help restore populations.
