List, I apprciate Mark's comment, but I have to say this has given me some hope. I am in my senior year in Bio courses and am taking two enivoromently linked courses, and through our discussions we are left with a feeling of hopelessness. You know the question,"what can we do?". I have gone to the websites and will give my classmates "some" hope through their voting power. Gee, I don't know some 40 more people in the world with a "little" more power? At least it will help with the feeling of helplessness. I hope.
