Michael, how do you define a portfolio is diverse enough to be considered healthy?

Look Michael I do not wish to flame you but you talk fast and loose about matters that are objectively much more meaningful than you give them credit for. There are very few scientists out there who would claim that global warming is not worthy of concern. Limbaugh does nothing but spew garbage on such issues.

How many years are the redwood going to be around for Michael? Do you know? Sufficient to replenish themselves? How about the rainforest in Brazil? Do you know? Are you sure that you would not be affected if it were entirely burnt? What is their role -- do you know? Will we have enough time to find out? Can you explain past rapid changes in climate? Why did they happen? Do you know? Over what time frame? Do you know? What if they take place again?

Why is it so difficult for you to realize that killing a gorilla to make ashtrays out of their hands, or cutting down an ancient redwood is much more hurtful to me than someone bombing a memorial could be to you? Is that so hard to grasp?

Why must we destroy every last remnant of natural jewel before we are satisfied? What is gained by it?
