Subject: RE: BS: zodiac/star signs.. do you believe?
Hiroshima - the military

Chernobyl, Three Mile Island,- the power industry. Don't you use electric power?

the destruction of the ozone layer, - CFCs, fridges, much of it. Going to do without? Or going to trash the scientists who discovered that it was a problem?

genetically engineered disease-causing foodstuffs, there aren't any, but there could be, especially if people shrug their shoulders and start spouting tripe.

the never-ending procession of every more deadly new "super-viruses",

Evolution driven faster by non- scientific (money driven) msiuse of antibiotics and antivirals.

the destruction of the rainforest, the annihilation of animal/plant species, - land greed and human overpopulation. You can partially blame science for that, it has enabled people to live longer. Back to 25% infant mortality in the first year?

the horrible prospect of a world engineered and overrun by a race of genetically-prefabricated super-clones who all look and think like the British Royal Family, Bill Gates or George Bush, etc etc etc. - I'd like to see the results of engineering done by the Royal Family (especially Phil).

Just pile everything you dislike in a big heap and blame science, then go off, enjoy every comfort you have as a direct result of the complex society you live in. But you want that under the carpet, and pretend it doesn't exist. Play at metaphysics, and parasite on everyone else's hard work in your ignorance. Let someone else do the years of study necessary to understand what the REAL problems are.
