In reply to Jean.

Jean, thanks for this comment. It addresses something I think about often, how we in the U.S. are so hyper developed that we're cultivating a distinct form of ignorance. I was just thinking about it today in light of future article topics, so it's bound to come up again. You're comment was also some positive reinforcement that I might actually be leading one or two people to think further about the complexity of this issue and how it effects so many things on both sides of the border. Again, thanks for the indirect encouragement as well as your thoughts.
