Now, if only we could get most people to believe as you do.
Unfortunately, I don't believe we can. The attitude of many poeple
is simply to not care about anyone else. Sometimes, the conscience
of the masses awakens and they move forward with great courage, but
that is only for a fleeting moment. They will eventually get back
into not caring again.
It happens in all kinds of social arrangements.
Remember how it was back in grade school: the larger cliques wielded
the most power and would do so at the detrement of other cliques as
long as it got what it wanted.
In adulthood it is the same thing... except that these kids now have
the weapons to enforce their rule that they always wanted as children.
Sad, huh?

[ At the recent MIT symposium, the spokesmen for Hydro-Quebec were
claiming that they were only selling excess power to the U.S. and
that this amount was only a small fraction of the total generating
capacity. I don't recall the response to this point from the anti-
hydro project forces. I'm hoping to soon obtain a major amount of
materials on the subject which I will enter into the listserv archive
for interested subscribers (once I figure out how to do so without
broadcasting it to the entire mailing list). --Gary ]
