Sorry Mike, but that's one of the biggest pieces of shit I've read in this group in some time. It also betrays a dangerous arrogance about the relationship between "man" and "nature". Just why do you consider man as being outside of (or is it above?) nature? The diseases' environment has changed. The organisms better adapted to the new environment have survived. The ones that are not suitable have not. That is natural selection. ========================================= "Nonetheless, keeping an open mind shouldn't be synonymous with keeping one that's just plain empty." Scott J.
