Ahh, Derek,

You have truly given me much food for thought.......
"Hence I won't loose site of the bigger issue, the science"...this is your quote. Please make sure you lose and not loose site of the bigger issue.

Well, I guess I have become embroiled in this charming exchange of ideas and literary knowledge and my advice to you is that instead of quoting dead and semi-dead people why don't you get you own ideas???? Though, in all honesty, I must admit that I was grudgingly impressed with the information and quotes you have gathered. Perhaps it is an indication of the amount of time you spend reading in order to better educate yourself in which case I should commend you on your diligence. However, would your time not be better served in a more active role? For example, being such a seemingly learned person, you could use your indoubtedly superior intellect and research skills to enhance the knowledge of those less fortunate than you. I am speaking of the masses who are in denial about the dangers of such things as the ozone layer, and environmental devastation etc etc etc. Oh! Hang on! That means someone like you! Goodness me! Please forgive the transgression. I guess you are doing your job! Well carry on. May the force be with you and all that!

Before I forget, I must thank you Derek for providing me with a light-hearted diversion even if it is becoming a little tedious.

Love forever and until the ozone layer becomes completely depleted because foolish people want to stick their head in the sand,

P.S. Derek, did you know that ostrich eggs are bigger than their brains?? And that is scientific!
