OT - Steven - Regarding the Panda Project, which you linked to -- it has NOTHING to do with REAL, LIVE pandas -- biz.yahoo.com Real, live pandas are "short" worldwide -- only about 1000 of them left in the world. They are just big hairy mammals who sit around eating bamboo shoots all day. Maybe they don't DO much, but they're fascinating, BEAUTIFUL animals that have intrigued people for centuries since not much is known about them. That's why the research ongoing at the San Diego Zoo is very important. Watch the PandaCam for a few days, and I think you'll agree that the interactions between the panda baby and mother are very endearing and interesting. Some of their behavior is so "human-like" that it's amazing. Okay --- I'm getting down off my soapbox now, and I promise to talk about SNDK next post. Betty

Steve, re: "Let me take over your role as Devil's Advocate". I never considered "INVESTING" in Pandas. Except for the ocassional zoo ticket or a random contribution, IMHO, they are wonderful creatures worthy of a continued existence. As all creatures are -- human included -- when you step back and take a LONG look at the world. No ... I am not a "tree hugger" and no I don't aspire to stop the clubbing of baby seals in a tiny boat in Canadian waters. I just think that people lucky enought to have HUGE monetary gains (e.g. SNDK investors) should take a deep breath and admire all of God's good creations once in a while. If nothing else comes from it, you might find yourself with one on those totally amazing B&W images of the Grand Canyon on your wall. And maybe you could get into Ms. Weaver's idea that Gorilla's should be allowed to survive in the mist. And that people ... should leave these creatures alone and be damn pleased to be alive. I, for one, am. Craig
