    Actually I hate living in the city,  my last base stateside I lived in
the country and commuted by bicycle 1/2 the time.  Unfortunately I just
spent 16 months seperated from my family while stuck on a tiny island in the
atlantic.  Needless to say, phone calls and trips home put me in a minor
financial crisis, so now I'm stuck living in base housing for a while.

    The point I was trying to make, however, is how much of the country is
now taken up with cities and pavement.  Area that used to be lush plant and
animal life before the industrial revolution.  Add to that chopping down
timber, clearing the rainforest etc.  It seems to me we have less plant life
now than we did 100 years ago, not more.
