Chris,
Whatever, man, but I think you mean to say that Chris comes first -- or maybe second, right after Steven.
I'd write more but I'm really quite busy today, but here's some questions to ponder -- has it occurred that diverse ecosystems are necessary (a) for a source of genes for disease-resistance in the crops we eat, (b) for efficient nutrient cycling, and (c) to maintain the ecological relationships between species such that biological systems are resilient?
Are natural ecosystems biologically diverse because they're stable or stable because they're biologically diverse?
Joe
Joe, it doesn't matter, because if they get in the way, they're toast.
Chris
