Hey, webfluid, please don't be mean; solardog's message included as much about bio-diversity as yours did! And I loved solardog's enthusiasm! Your points were good, too. I, too, favor susinctness (simplicity & accuracy), but not at the expense of clarity. [The contents of the 'post-colonial capitalism' garbage-can doesn't contribute much to the clarity of our fundamental problems.]
I'm here to encourage bio-diversity & idea-diversity, both! They are equally important. Somehow, you & me & all our earthmates, need to learn to seek the nuggets of truth that are hidden in the posts we read (especially those we disagree with) & then add new insights from our own unique aggregate of experience.
This eDialogue will have conrtibuted much to world peace if we show the world that we are not interested in beating each other (up or down) but, instead, learn how to benefit from each unique viewpoint & seek the common ground (that must surely be there somewhere). Our differences need to be used to enrich our solutions. Let's not try to defeat those who differ. Let's see them for what they truly are: an invaluable resource for expanding our own (o so very limited) experiential base.
