It is nice to read a comment like yours. <br /><br />today around the campuses there were so many helicopters, police bikers, and i felt like telling them all: don't worry, the students are so quiet. they are so quiet indeed! no posters, no flyers. the action is somewhere else.earthwalkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659753466351932668.post-23488972330284315472009-09-23T21:50:04.008-04:002009-09-23T21:50:04.008-04:00Paul,

There will be an awful lot of destruction if the gap between rich and poor gets much wider, if the climate change reduces the amount of arable land by half and so on.
