I don't argue that the ozone hole exists, or even that it is due to human activities -- I've seen that made abundantly clear. But this does not justify a sudden attack on all industry to do *far* more than is necessary. I like my air as clean as the next guy does, even if it doesn't change the ozone, but we all have to co-exist, and when some guy who watches too much TV and reads too few calm explanations of the situation goes and demands that industry shut down, *that* is unfounded panic. I apologize for not knowing where this comes from, but to paraphrase another person's words, "Ignorance isn't dangerous. It's what people know that ain't so." -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- "The meek shall inherit the earth...
