Thanks, Rob -
I guess that's what I meant to say...don't mess with Mother Nature?
Looking back on when I was raising my kids, I see now that one of my weak 
areas
was "consequences". Not immediate consequences, like what-happens-if you stick
your hand in the fire...but long-term consequences that will eventually affect
your whole life. They're all mid-forties now, and I see them do things once 
in a
while that make me wanna scream, "What were you thinking!?"
I hope the remnants of mankind don't have to look back someday and ask, "What
were we thinking?"
