cosmicforce,

Thinking about the topic of cost benefit analysis when it comes to environmental issues.. I think of the movie, "Erin
Brockovich" when she asked the woman attorney from PG&E, "What her uterus was worth?". The male attorney, "What his spine was worth?" and on and on..

And I imagine, the worth decreases as the relationship, distances.. Until they become damn near worthless to most people as they enter the third world..

And the movie brought out other issues to me.. Here a outspoken and brash person recognizes the morality of an issue before most, makes waves and p!sses people off.. Until it turns out, she was right.. And then I imagine, ALL people jump on the morality band wagon, after it was SAFE..
I imagine the polite establishment people, would not dare take a stand like this in real life, but cheered her on in the Virtual..because it was SAFE.

Just my thoughts,

coug
