I looked at a few articles and they looked somewhat objective to me. Possibly we are so use to living with the Microsoft viewpoint that anything objective looks anti-Microsoft? Or maybe i'm so anti-Microsoft that just spelling Microslouth correctly looks objective <grin>. The governor of Oregon has dedicated himself to creating a "Sustainable Oregon" and his efforts are actually producing some results. The extension service produced a educational publication that was included with the local newspaper. It is also online at: http://oregonfuture.oregonstate.edu I doubt this governor will last long in todays political climate but for now he has succeeded in reaching some of the business world and other power bases. I guess everyone wants to think their ideas are new and original and that is how much of the discussion comes across. The old critics and counter-culture types are not mentioned or given much credit. This is probably a good way to present ideas to those who are resisting. They don't want to be associated with the more "radical?" elements of society. Still, it bothers me a little that we are sweeping some history under the rug. For hundreds of years various people have seen todays problems coming and suggested change. Mostly they were ignored or attacked. jeff
