Tom. I'm offline now at work, and I am wondering if this message of mine came out a bit too strong. I felt you went for the man instead of the ball, and then I did the same in return. That's a stupid thing to do. Sorry about that.
Our opinions differs, that's obvious. But Tom and others. I am aware of the theories around the disappearance of the dinosaurs. They may be right, but it is unproven theories. I'm also very aware the natural changes in the climate. That's more than theories, it seems like facts. Just for the sake of the argumentation, let us say that both meteor theory and natural changes are correct. This does not implicate that human activity does not have an impact. It proves nothing. Folks, please don't confuse theories with proves when making an argument. On the other hand we do have some knowledge about the ecosystem. We know that ecosystem is the sum of other systems. Some systems working together, others are working against each other. All these systems make a very delicate balance. (By using the word knowledge I'm not saying that this is proven, I'm only suggesting that I'm referring very strong theories) And Tom. I do suggest that we try to do something about what seem to be a new situation. That may be wrong, and it may be stupid. But it does not mean that I have a god complex. On the contrary, it means that I see myself as a tiny bit, or more a fragment, no, more like a fragment of a fragment of something larger and more important than myself. But unlike you Tom (it seem that), I see myself as a part of a system. The nature of a system is that every fragment, large or not, has an impact of the circle. BTW. System theories have impact on a lot of other theories, including eco theories. They are also used to describe social relations like families and societies or organisations. What makes them so interesting is that they describe and leads to an interesting understanding of almost anything organic, and a lot of mechanical stuff, including engines ;-) Being offline, I'm not able to pick references out of my hat at the moment, but if you are interested, I could probably find something later. I also wish you all an Organic Hollyday ;-) Tim Mostly harmless (just plain Norwegian) -----Original Message----- From: Tim Øsleby [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 24. desember 2006 04:30 To: 'Pentax-Discuss Mail List' Subject: RE: Doomsday is coming upon us?

Ah, suffering from a bit of a god complex, are you? We must be causing the world to do this and that? Got news, the world is going to do whatever the world wants to do, including exterminating mankind. We do not have the power you are imagining we do. But I guess it helps to feel like someone somewhere is in control. However, I have come to terms with the fact that I am insignificant.
