"The word which is best said came nearest to not being spoken at all, for it is cousin to the deed which the speaker could have better done."

_e^z Onomatopoeia(22 jan 1988)

Coy flirts, but I still love her. You? She knows more than you, and she knows more than you faster and faster all the time! The expansive wheel of all ordinary differential equations revolve on her onomatopoeiac jeweled pineal bearing IDENTITY OF CHANGE:

"I am, the rate of myself".

You will find that atheists are quite fond of Ockham�s razor.

Normally I up for mathematical riddles, but you seem to be attempting to support your political ideas with them. I find this distasteful. If your intentions are benevolent, I apologize for I have not properly perused your statements. But life is all about choosing which subjects one will waste one�s time on. So unless you provide a non-obfuscated discription of your intentions, this shall be the extent of my time wasted on your favorite subject. Sorry.

Nature has come up with the perfect solution to "cleaning up". She
has
created a clean up crew that only lasts as long as the "mess" that
needs to
be cleaned up. Then individual members of the crew either die, or
they
leave behind eggs or spores to be ready for the next mess, or they
encase
themselves in a protective shell and go dormant until they are called
back
into action. In other words, Mother Nature is so efficient, that even
the
clean-up crew cleans up after itself under normal
circumstances...unless you
have a man-made algae bloom where the nutrient levels are several
times
higher than a "natural" situation.

But then Nature works on a different level...more on the species
level.
Individuals don't matter as much as the entire species...as if the
species
itself was a superorganism of sorts with each individual acting
like "cells"
of the whole.

Also, humans work linearly and can't conceive of much beyond the
length of
their own lifetime. Nature works in cycles. And not just one cycle,
but
repeated cycles. And there are many species, like the cleanup crews
that
have adapted themselves to these cycles and live their entire life
cycle
timed to fit into Nature's cycles. So, they mature and reproduce in
times of
plenty and they reproduce just enough so the species will continue
when the
next cycle begins. Nature's concept of time is not quite the same as
ours.

All other species seem pretty content to let Mother Nature call the
shots
and, up until now, have done fairly well. We're the ones who, in our
arrogance, think we know so much better than Mother Nature and insist
on
trying to control everything...including our lifespans.
Yep, we were gonna' make the deserts bloom! We thought we could
change any
and every ecosystem to suit our needs! We were going to "improve" on
those
areas where Mother Nature obviously fell down on the job.

Its not nice to fool with Mother Nature!

Just some thoughts,

"When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to
the rest
of the world."

Dig it. Nice post.

I have no idea what the OP is on about, though. But then it's a been a long while since I last ate any magic mushrooms. Moksha.

If this isn't some kind of calculus joke, then I am completely lost.

Jeremy Pallant · 03-08-2003, 08:03 PM

That was my first thought, Chicken Girl, but upon further examination I couldn't figure out what it was about. So I moved it here.
