Thanx for your sobering message, Ed. As I was reading it I kept bouncing
back and forth between conditions and problems. Is Heliopolis (and
others) a condition (which will continue) or is it a problem (something
can be done about it). If its a problem, than what must be done to 'fix'
it? It's a cold overcast day here in Ottawa and my mood must reflect the
weather: I fear that the Heliopolis' of the world reflect aspects of the
human economic/political condition. I just can't imagine the
political/economic/environmental things that would have to be changed to
provide long term remedies (the kind of remedies that my middle class
mentality sees as remedies).
