neg cases you really believe in

hey jeff- i always thought you really believed in rights malthus!!!:-)

i too happen to believe in the crisis position, especially in terms
of people mobilizing around a crisis and adding strength to existing
social movements that are working for change right now.  the current
supreme court tinkering with the ESA when the whole problem with the
act (according to gonzaga) is that it focuses on specific species
instead of whole ecosystems is an excellent example of how the
government acting to solve an environmental problem only decreases
the perception of how large the problem really is.

the only reservation i have about the position is that i don't think
that consciousness will come soon enough- i think that once enough
people realize we have damaged the earth's ecosystem it may be too
late (at least for us humans anyway).  unless, of course, hackers
take down the nation state in the next 50 years...
