Too late; "people" now lacks sufficient specificity.  About 20 years ago,
Geoffrey H. Bourne, then the director of the Yerkes Regional Primate Center,
wrote a book entitled _The Ape People_.  He made it clear that his title did
not refer to the hominine employees, but to the subjects of the various
studies.  Also, Hugo van Lawick has recently released a videotape entitled
_People Of the Forest_.  Not a single hominine appears in it, though; it's
about the chimpanzees that Jane Goodall has been studying (well, a hominine
named Donald Sutherland narrates it).

I've only dated a few times (mostly fix-ups) when the person wasn't already a 
friend, but I have had women turn me down because we were too close of friends.
"I can't date you you know too much about me"
The lady I should have married, friendship got in the way, because I was afraid
to push the relationship for fear of ruining the friendship.  I've always
regretted not telling her how I really felt.

As someone else pointed out, the problem is more in getting
down the river, and studies are underway to see if releasing
more water will make it easier for the fish to survive (by
studies I mean they released more water than usual last year
and will continue doing so, while monitoring the fish population
as they always do).  If it works, then I would think this is the
sort of in-between solution that Graydon advocates.

Well, you're certainly welcome to some of mine (now only if I could figure
out how to uuencode this extra sex drive).  Seriously, though, I fid that
sex drive is substantially increased by regular weightlifting, though it
is actually somewhat decreased by extended bicycling.  This suggests to me
that high-intensity exercise that doesn't cut off the circulation to your
genitalia for extended periods of time is probably ideal.

Additionally, something that has a pretty strong effect in this area for
me is the consumption of a mixture of L-arginine and L-ornithine on an
empty stomach before retiring.  (Use water to wash it down, as you should
avoid consuming protiens and carbohydrates at the same time.)  However, I
also find that this tends to cause me to gain weight, so you might want to
proceed with caution.

   Hmmm, I would say it is this sort of all-or-nothing rhetoric
   that causes a lot of the trouble right now.  

No argument.

   There are only a
   few extremists who are proposing making timbering impossible,
   and even that is referring only to public lands.  Just because
   Dan Quayle said we could have owls OR jobs doesn't mean we have
   to choose between them.  Most of the environmentalists are asking
   that SOME ancient forests be left uncut--unfortunately, at this
   time there's only SOME left, so the environmentalists are in the
   position of asking that most all of the remaining ancient forests
   be left uncut.

Yeah, but that has the effect from the logger's point of view of saying
"oh no, we don't want to keep people from cutting *all* forests ... just
any of the ones that would provide you with work."  The issue still
comes down to the value of a particular subspecies.

One approach that might work is to decide that the value of the species
is greater than the economic value of the forest or microclimate or
whatever, and therefore *buy* the damned thing.  (The Nature Conservancy
works on just that basis, in fact.)  But the way the current
environmental laws operate doesn't recognize the economic cost, just the
apparently unlimited value of a species.

I also think it might concentrate the public's mid wonderfully if told
"saving the snail darter will mean we must pay 123 million dollars for
the economic loss realized by not finishing the dam."

Of course not--but, Sandra, you know that it would be more of a faux pas
for a clothing designer to take human dimensions into account than it
would be for a philosopher to look in a horse's mouth.  Designers came
up with the idea that shoes should be pointed in the middle because they
decided that was what feet *should* look like--and they responded to the
frustration expressed by people whose feet weren't pointed in the middle
by putting the shoes up on a slope so that enough pressure would be
applied to their feet to make them pointed in the middle.

Trygve   (Later, they went on to create the "law" of clothing design that
          people larger than Michael J. Fox wear only plaid polyester and
          that people with larger waistlines have the same size thighs as
          people with smaller waistlines.)

You know something?  You would probably be better off bringing up interesting
points such as why everyone is all up in arms about your post, when not so
long ago someone posted some ridiculous pseudo-science about how "aura's"
prove that unborn babies have no soul and almost no one bothered to reprimand
him for "invading the newsgroup." That would have been an interesting point,
and might have generated some discussion. Putting that article in your .sig,
however, is the quickest route into damn near *everyone's* kill file I've
ever seen.

Just a thought...
