[Chuck Vaughn]

Jim,

Actually I think you're missing my point. I'm not disputing or dismissing what you are seeing. My point is that your concerns and what you view as problems are not shared by a lot of other people. For example, I'd wager that more people are concerned about whether they can afford to buy corn products to eat next year than there are people concerned about a severe reduction in weed and insect species in Illinois farmland. Are their concerns to be dismissed?  That doesn't make them lemmings because they don't share your concerns.

The issue of things you love disappearing and what that means to the planet beyond your personal feelings is the topic for another discussion. I am an amateur astrophotographer and I love the dark night sky. That has been disappearing since the invention of the light bulb. Do you have the same level of concern for my issue as you do for yours? I would not expect you to.

Chuck




> Well Chuck,
> I think you prove my point completely, I need not say more. I have no profit margin here and am certainly glad to be a free thinker and not a Lemming like the "majority would agree" crowd (I think those were the same people in the past that ran the Salem witch trials and such, weren't they?) I am making no predictions at all, I'm seeing it happen. Those that are not seeing this perhaps are doing more research from there computer chair than in the field. Perhaps, we need more studies (as I've been told every time I bring up that something is amiss) mean while the things are disappearing as the powers that be are "deciding" what to do. I for one am tired of the things I love disappearing so someone else can make a buck. Yes, I am extreme, and I do believe humans will in the end get what they deserve.
