Kat,

Thats the beauty of nature. It adapts far better than we do. It lives in boiling water and crushing, ink black pressure at the bottom of the sea. The only thing poison ivy feers is goats. The river doesn't care whether you build on its banks, it'll just flood you out.

My point you must remember was that humankind is at the point in its infancy where it can see the carnage and cost it has paid to get to this point. And not pay the same taxes twice as it moves ahead.

We see what nuclear power has done and can do. Just because we "can" is no reson "to" go forward with the stuff. Fewer nuclear power plants are built each year and those that are have been made smaller and more efficient. No we have to make them safe or not make them at all. But at least know we recognize this need. We never did before. Fossil fuels are an evil we live with. But we are getting better and more efficient with their use.

Besides Katey, we are a part of nature ourselves. If we don't learn to live right with it. It will adapt us into oblivion.

Don
