My own view is that we have technologized the world, not humanized it....and dehumanized it as much as we have denatured it. Its the place where human nature and nature nature overlap that is so lost to us. A humanized humanity certainly would take its environment, the sadness of animals, the needs of vegetation, seriously. So I like the ideals but think the analysis not quite right. --- from list bhaskar-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
