Hello list--

Anyways, when we aren't arguing with John; not much is said around here any
more. None of us has his talent for generating list traffic. :-)
To which I would argue, is low traffic a bad thing? I think the
signal:noise ratio has gone way up, lately. Again, I remember quite a bit
of traffic around JDG every six months or so when he'd stir the pot on the
abortion debate. You might miss him and all that traffic, Dan, but I sure
don't.
Jo Anne--
Hi. There I was, doing my bit to produce list traffic.
Sorry...

Another thing I'd like to point out, for not particular reason, is Where Are
The Women On This List? Are Julia and I the only xx's left? You lurking
females out there, *Please* speak up on anything and everything. This has
become BrinL for mostly men and a couple of women.
It could be that lurking women are carefully avoiding
this thread. : )

changes.
This is something I worry about -- what will our Grandchildren be doing when
they're my age? What will the world be like for them? The primary group we
donate to each year is trying to reduce world populations. I'm worried
we're approaching a colony count that's going to exceed carrying capacity.
Doom and gloom? Maybe -- so convince me otherwise, guys.
To me, the main problem is that the people using most of
the resources (us) are relatively rich enough that we don't
feel much incentive to use them efficiently. Consider
fueling vehicles with ethanol made from corn--we have so
much food we're prepared to feed it to our cars! But not
everyone is so lucky.
