[QUOTE]Originally posted by bdgee: [QB] Yep. I do agree, NR. Much of that unpreparedness is due to being unable to comprehend such vast alterations (or even minute ones that effect us in ways we can't easily foretell but have devestating consequences) in what we feel must be solid and constant (and maybe God given). (Sadly, much of it also is due to the teachings of various religions, that wish us to acceed that their god or gods drive disasters in order to keep us in line.) A potato disease nearly killed off Ireland's civilization, not because they had overpopulated or shirked their religion or failed at much of anything other than understanding and predicting, but because they had almost stopped growing any other crop but the one particular potato variety that was susceptible to that disease. It was the boll weevil and not the loss of slavery or war that plunged the South into multi-decades of poverty driven loss of culture and opportunity for its young. (Air conditioning is finally bringing back its hopes. Now, to find a way to drive the air conditioners without hastening global warming!) Too much of our real research is done by commercial interest whose bottom line is their real incentive. Even in the great university research centers, if one looks beyond the surface, it is easy to learn that the corporate dollar and interest are overwhelming. Something needs to be done to keep such influences out of scientific development (socialized science, anyone?). [/QB][/QUOTE]
