- Dr Vandeman, I regret that it is you who are very much in error. The
- notion of a single objective environment we together must look after
- better is absolutely untenable, when plainly one's subjective social,
- built and natural environments are merely a part of the wider context
- in which one finds oneself. Otherwise there would never have developed
- so very many different societies and cultures among the one single
- species of human being on this planet, which is the very reason your
- persistent nagging at everyone to do what *you* want becomes so very
- tedious. You simply have no respect for other points of view.
-
- BTW, perhaps the physical planet we live on is not flat, but the
- subjective world-views of individuals and their associates certainly
- are. Out at their margins there indeed be dragons . . .
