Re: [QUAD-L] Wanna worry?

[Dana Miller]

I have heard of this saying too!  It does make mankind look reeeeeeally bad! 
But its our own fault.  An example -I've been told by my stepfather --is to 
look at Niagara Falls.  The water before and directly after the falls is 
nice and clear, but a few miles down, on the American side, it is already 
polluted.

I 'know' the factory I used to work for dumped poisoness liquids on the 
ground along the RR tracks.  It was not the 55 gal. barrel type amount, but 
enough to see it on the ground and to seep thru the ground.  Everytime I see 
the Missouri River, I wonder how it must have looked to the first white-man 
explorers, who said it was clear to the bottom.

Yeah, if you think about it a lot, or even a little, you get the feeling 
that something has to give and it will probably be 'us'.

i love the clip someone made - forgot who - that if all nuisance type bugs
(flys, mosquitoes, gnats, ...) were eliminated from earth, all life as we 
know
it would be gone within five years.  if however man was removed from 
earth,
life on earth would flourish in five years.
funny to think we are nothing more than a bad experiment - just an avocado
pit that's too big.  viva le cockroach.

If one REALLY wants cause to worry ... read The Demon in  the Freezer.  A
current debate on our smallpox (THE  deadliest virus hitherto) stockpiles 
and WHO
has them.  A smallpox  sample, unlike anthrax scares, will bring the world

Biowarfare THESE DAYS is more likely to kill us than nuclear  warfare,

Natural Law established its laws along time ago.  Violate  just one of 
them
and you will be pushing daisies in short time.   Then  along comes modern
medicine and
yanks a few of those who violated Natural Law and through that  knowledge, 
a
few
survived.  Natural has ways of neutralizing  growth.  Just consider some 
of
the past
with plagues, floods and famine.  So enjoy life, as it  moves so swiftly.
Remember
when you were a kid???  Now look at you,  (lol).  We all are living proof 
how
rapidly
time moves and moves on.
Best Wishes to ya all!
