| #5 The soviet union is not a good example of Environmental Care. Why? Environmentalism is a luxury good, that wealth destroying Marxism cannot afford. Forced non-reciprocation would be even more wealth destroying and thus ecologically damaging. |

| #4 An anti-globalization regression to self-sustainability (i.e. growing your own food, living off the grid, etc.), while tempting in many ways to some, will only delay prosperity and exacerbate misery for the masses. If history is any indication, our best hope is to encourage and promote innovation, entrepreneurship, free enterprise, free trade, specialization, and perhaps most important of all, SMALL GOVERNMENT, etc. as doing so gives humanity the best chance of living a prosperous and relatively peaceful existence. In other words, the best defense against humanity's challenges is a good offense. |

| #3 Like many enviro-weenies, Quinn's argument that a return to a more tribalistic, hunter-gatherer way of life is the answer to the ills of globalization, he's got it totally wrong. Unless of course he wants to give up all the comforts of globalization, such as cheap energy, etc. He and his cohorts would do well to read Matt Ridley's latest, The Rational Optimist. It is one of the better and more persuasive arguments laying out clearly and with strong historical and empirical evidence the benefits of small government, free enterprise, free and fair trade, and the division and specialization of labor. I highly recommend it. |

| #1 Yeah, wouldn't want to seem peculiar in any regard. Not that that stopped you from writing a book about a telepathic gorilla demanding radical social change... |
