Re: Living on the Planet - 21 November (none / 0)

it's a heavy metaphor for humanity's intransigent attachment to ignorant greed and stupidity, and what a laborious, frustrating and yet ultimately utterly inevitable task lies ahead.

on some level these kids' inability is a reflection of the looneytoon cog-diss asked of them.

little human canaries, mirroring our cosmic cluelessness about what surrounds us...

Re: Living on the Planet - 21 November (none / 0)

I strongly suspect that estrogenic environmental contaminants from dioxin to BPA to Pthialates to things of which we currently have no idea will be found to be at fault. The correlations are increasingly strong. Unfortunately, the economic and political weight of those who benefit from this are great and that inhibits both the science and policy responses.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
