Joe, I am not necessarily for it now, but it's going to happen one day. One day it will be necessary. Using that train of thought, one day it will be necessary to cut down the last tree, destroy the last ozone molecule, use up all the groundwater, kill all the fish in the oceans, etc. I hope that you are not really that pessimistic. Telecommuting is mostly limited by bandwidth, tools, and people's attitudes. Most people would be far more productive if they weren't wasting 4 hours a day driving and sitting in meetings called only to keep managers entertained. Scumbria

You might have missed it, but I largely agreed with your main points. I am not sure why you have to go to silly extremes and say: "Drilling in the ANWR is an idiotic response to our wasteful habits". I am not necessarily for it now, but it's going to happen one day. One day it will be necessary. Joe, This is what is so very difficult to hear. Previously when we talked about the environment and the diminishment of our natural resourses, you suggested that the supply was ample and confident that long before we ran out, we will have come up with alternates. However, that last statement above doesn't sound so sure. However, rather then thinking of ways to conserve, you want to find new ways to exploit this world on which we live. There is a relationship between this world and us and the other living organisms that inhabit it. Increasingly, that relationship is being skewed in our direction. When the relationship becomes too imbalanced, there will be a price to be paid. ted
