I no more than posted and there was your reply, LOL.

It's cool, LOL, I've just never seen that quick a turn around, LOL.

What sorts of changes Bear? Have you moved into an earth friendlies teepee? Have you markedly diminished your carbon footprint by ceasing to breath half the day?

I know it sounds like I'm being sarcastic toward you but I'm not really. It's just, as with the way you write, I don't know another way to make these points except apply them to life.

Surely I have, but my intent is not to offend.

My apologies for that, but not for the point I'm trying to bring to mind. Which is, all this Save the Earth clap trap is just that, manipulative nonsense intended to benefit the few. As Michael Crichton stated more than twenty years ago, We don't need to worry about saving the earth, it will get on nicely after humanity is gone(I paraphrase). On the implication, we agree Bear. Where we disagree, is the need to lower the bulk of humanities standard of living to accomplish that(assuming on my part that you agree with Al Gore and his Enviro backers who call for moving humanity into Human Corridors, followed by reducing the earths population too, down to maybe a half billion souls in the next 50 to one hundred years, depending on which fellow traveler is referenced). And that my dear sir is called eugenics. It hasn't gone away, merely underground with less revealing euphemistic names. Like we and the Brits didn't know about the Nazi experimentation, c'mon, our cultures thought it up lol. (what was it the great early 20th century jurist Homles said, 3 generations of ignorance is enough? I'm sure it's a bad paraphrase but he did okay forced sterilization.

And Bear, I'm not against your style of writing, I support your right to write as you wish, but the simple truth is the more free form you are, the quicker my mind glazes over and says, lets move on to some one who wants to be understood right-off. I'm busy living, even when I'm deathly ill bro.

And again, I'm just speaking straight-up, offending you is not my wish.

peaceably
