<DIV></DIV>Just a side note on that article re: gaia theory. In year 9 science
we learned about the theory of evolution and the teacher said it was only
still called a theory because of the powerful opposition of religious groups.
In first year university geography we learned about gaia theory and the
lecturer said it was only still called a theory because of the powerful
opposition of industry lobby groups. It occurs to me the
consumerist-industrial-capitalist-perpetual-growth-world is really just a
religion anyway :)<BR><BR><BR>
