Well said (mdwilson). I couldn't agree more.  I don't think, however, that this
discussion is merely an "esoteric philosophical" exercise -- I think it is
central to achieving the stated purposes.

Whether we can reach "the masses" at this level is doubtful, but programs
like the ones mentioned (taking inner-city youth to the hills) or making
conservation work part of the National Service Program are ways of
spreading the Word.

Further, I don't think that as scientists, policy wonks, administrators,
students, or whatever, that we can ever afford the luxury of being unmindful
of the ethical context of our work.
