Unbelievable, thats not what I mean; my outlook is gloomier than that. Sure we have always had pain and hunger, and I guess in many ways we do a much better job taking care of those sorts of things than we have in the past. I am of the view that what is in danger is our very existance here, or at the very least our future prospects. Within a single lifetime we have by a variety of actions begun to affect the whole organism of the earth; the whole biosphere in a very profound way. By any measure the quantities are enormous. The US daily consumption of oil is a 600 ft cube; the amount of CO2 this cube releases is a cube that reaches halfway up through the lower atmosphere; every day!! Go out in a forrest and look around; the acid rain damage is everywhere. While we concentrate on the preservation of wolves and tigers (trophy animals at the top of the foodchain with us, and just as usless) lower lifeforms everywhere are under seige, and these creatures are really the basis of our existance here. I could go on and on.. WSR
