* we were talking of this and that yesterday, and wondering if 
"equilibrium" could be the new "sustainability," and if folks could be 
brought to their senses if they were challenged to show that their 
actions weren't aimed at promoting long-term global equilibrium.

"Conservation," "multiple use," sustainability," and "biodiversity" have 
all been corrupted, so it's doubtful that equilbrium would fare any 
better, but at least it should be exposed to the rigours of memetic 
natural selection.
