[QUOTE="Frost, post: 87694, member: 974"] PD - Adapting doen't imply quiet acceptance of anything really. If I had said accomodate or conform you might have a significant point, but to adapt just means to modify the way we do things according to present circumstances and doesn't really carry in and of itself the conotation you are giving it. If we were to "create wealth and stability to sustain us" as you said, that would be considered an adaptation as compared to the way we have been doing things, which has proven to be both unstable and unsustainable. We are just playing semantics here obviously, but it is important to understand so as to avoid uneccesarry confusion. I do not necesarilly disagree with anything else you wrote. Edit: To quote Tom Robbins (I think, might have been someone else that said it first): "There's no such thing as synonmyms." [/QUOTE]
