A fine thinking Iceless earth. It was once ; a nation which escaped the ice age because of the Himalaya mountains while every other nation was frozen. So one needs a mass movement; mass movement for what?; Nature protection?; how?; when someone is barraged with vulgarity the whole 5000 members of the various groups are looking at askance ; unable to write a word shut up so and so; and advises better to send it to junk; do not reply him etc; or be a silent spectator as people were once on the draupadi vastra aparanam. How will such people in billions surge upward to heed to the call? On this earth there are a few Bold-people; and the rest the world knows; and the best way to usher in dharma, is to kill all the good and develop and mushroom the mushrooms. Where nature is thus declining, utopia remains an utopia. K R IRS 21225
