Fortunately for Mr Andy Kunz(for example), his religion preaches the go forth and multiply message, a message which Andy has practiced with fervour. The sigma curve is used in biology to describe the population explosion/dieback occurance. I wonder if we have been wrong in Wellington, N.Z. to have adopted the cockroach as a Y2K mascott, seems that Andy could make a case for a different application of it. overpopulation signs: *rainforests*global warming*nuclear fallout*genocide*extinctions*polution* Noah whoa! Gaia (dumb or not) has reason to deliver a disaster on us, religious people should now begin the next series of sacred writings on how "God" was very displeased and ... (greatly chastised us and "saved" a faithfull select few etc...) Certainly Cockroaches and Catholics will have the numbers to optimise survival potential of a major global disaster, and I'll bet that the cockroaches won't be needing any divine intervention from any particular #God. My message ? Life must be earned, not owed to us. Bring back the sabretooth tiger, lose the long range weapons. Ask a Dodo, Moa etc, silence talks to careful listeners. Graham Daniel.
