   Who wrote that load of crap, and more importantly, why?   
      
   Your "earthly sustainability" is a tickey-mark, by itself it means nothing.   
    It's a measure.  A meaningless measure.  Like lots of other ones.  Taken   
   alone they mean nothing, it is what they represent that has meaning, if   
   you're lucky.   
      
   Somebody write a definition for "serious conversation" please, I'd like to   
   know what the hat-clown is whining about.   
      
   And Tang, kindly do not compare HItler with modern medicine, it risks   
   making him look better.
