Botanically, there is no distinction between "winter squash" and 
"pumpkins"--the distinction is based purely on our perceptions of 
differences in varieties, types, and usage. There are of course 
differences in the relative edibility and quality of the seeds, but 
those are varietal differences, not botanical ones.

The threat of nuclear weapons and man's ability to destroy the environment 
are really alarming. And yet there are other almost imperceptible changes--I 
am thinking of the exhaustion of our natural resources, and especially of 
soil erosion--and these are perhaps more dangerous still, because once we 
begin to feel their repercussions it will be too late.  ~The Dalai Lama
