Tommaso, regarding your comment on how many people are being killed in the world. I read a figure of about 100 million in wars of various kind, during this century. The increase in the world population is about 87 million per year right now. So we do not seem to be making enough room available fast enough <g>. It was also Zola, that famous misanthrope who said that the world would be a better place without people. So the English clergyman has adopted the same line. Obviously, we must manage the nuclear threat the best we can, but it would not surprise me if we will see a nuclear blast by terrorists during the next 20 years in some city. The technology to produce all the ingredients of a bomb must be progressing so that the entry in know-how is within reach of even small groups. Yours, Seppo
