The Earth is a single living organism and we do need to make sure that policy-makers consider long-term consequences of their actions. @Melita: Thanks for dropping by!

But then, are there "oceans" still, into which mankind hasn't poured more than a few drops... OK, actually, I don't want to be doing that. I really don't.<br/><br/>Pengovsky: :-D Dr. filomena: right you are, of course.

It still hold true that a few drops of dirt don't pollute an ocean just as the few truly bad people don't spoil the entire mankind, while it's also true that man has dropped much more than a few drops of dirt into the oceans and is starting to pay the toll for the pollution committed in the name of progress and the mighty Mammon. @alcessa: I hear you, but think two different issues are involved here.

Gandhi quote tends to frighten me every time I encounter it: some time ago, someone somewhere online (must be one of the English dailies I read) wrote how deceiving it really is: while it may be true about the first part of the 20th century that the mankind had large, untouched oceans at hand, to use as symbols of... unperturbed existence of things, of vast spaces unchanged by men, they are not that waste, clean or innocent anymore, what with all the pollution and seafaring and cables and stuff. What with all the damaging intrusion we are capable of, anywhere. <br/><br/>I like to hug, though :-) The above M.K.
