Hate is probably beneficial, as well as harmful, and it certainly (in opposition) creates things that both you and I would agree are marvelous. Look at what grew out of racial hate in the South. A few hundred days after the murder of Emmet Till in the South, Rosa Parks refused to sit at the back of a bus. You just never know where things will take you. And it's almost impossible to predict what things will move your society in what ways.

But - can we move too fast on GW?

Very easily.

Can we move too fast on bird flu should it strike?

Well if you mass produce a vaccine before you get it right you would be moving to fast here.

I was saying that conservatives support things if done by their party, but would never support the exact thing if it was a liberal program. Same with democrats. That's just picking corners and coming out swinging.

I agree, that happens all too often from both sides.
