- Zero--and I suspect you know it. Allowing for humor impairment, that
- statement does not require the death, relocation or much else of
- anyone. You might have a stronger case if I were using a .sig quote I
- recently saw--"/earth is 98% full. Please delete anyone you can."
- Unlike your response, I assumed it to be in a humorous vein.

- I'm not an advocate of that. However, since you seem to have a clear
- concept of "society's values", why don't you expound upon them and see
- if anyone agrees with you?

-
- I can imagine life without one all to well. I may occasionally
- advocate single transportation systems, but I don't think that's the
- way to go. You may want to read Jonathan Swift's work on "solving"
- the Irish famine problem, though I suggest that you read some of the
- commentary *about* the work before condemning him for what he *said*
- there.
