Yeah, ...Nice point about climate change, Aeolus! <br /><br />Yeah, I've been thinking about Daniel's point. I suppose you might say that, politically speaking, we should only make comparisons between group A and group B, to elevate group B, when the status of group A is secure. Otherwise there's a risk of dragging down group A instead of elevating group B.
