The world lost one of its great souls on Saturday (I only just learned). I for one want to pay tribute.
Norm, I tip my stethoscope to you.

Was Norman a doctor ?
I have to be critical in reading the tribute.
Without doubt the man had a great sense of personal responsibility, a sense of mission, and of committment, and great empathy.
In short, he was a man who reminds me greatly of my own father.
But I am not sure that we are logical animals in our reproductive capacities, and that WE can control OUR population.
And when I observe the maelstrom of violent emotions that come into play in women over the question of having babies, I feel NO hope whatsoever that population control will be "rationalized" or "reasoned".
It's rather depressing, actually, as I am not in favor of government interference.
Deb, it is estimated he saved a billion lives.
I will never blame Prometheus for the gift of fire.
Deb,
