I did not mean my message to those who mostly are aware about their doings, as Rich is very much. I was asking "how many of you is aware... etc. etc.". It is people, forming groups, starting mailing lists or companies and governments. Then sincerelly, I must draw this conclusion, that it is us who are also buying the products, and supposedly electing the politicians and so saying yes or no. Even if it is sometimes quite hard to decide what somebody is really saying, or what is your own opinion about these matters ;-) >HOWEVER...the conservation that a lifetime of my best efforts can >produce can be undone in a single day by one sufficiently large >entity. This worries me very much. My favorite place, where I did our first trip together with Rita, has during last three years become a littlle worn. Just a little island in the Finnish gulf, where only a few boaters stop during the summer, and there is always some a**hole taking fresh wood from old rowan-trees or pines...
