the Voice of Steely

[Henry M]

Is the list really debating "which type of loss is greater?" Culture, 
biological, personal? Cultural loss can't be turned back any more 
than the loss of a rain forest. Do we need to choose between a 
homogeneous "one world" culture and ecological hell? Steely, I 
appreciate that writing about ecological disaster might encourage 
people to "vote" with time, money, or political input, and is 
therefor useful beyond "entertainment" value, but that doesn't 
validate inconsiderate responses to cultural preservationists. If we 
"save" the world, but nobody who can appreciate it is left...
