Hi Mark,
I appreciate the acknowledgment.
I am unsure about the quality of diversity per se. This seems to me to
be a justification for a lot of BritArt which I find - um - pointless.
Okay, in this sphere (intellectual) I dislike the art but I will defend
their right to produce it. I think I am supportive of diversity, but
with qualifications.
Diversity in biological terms means plenty of things. We need this, but
diversity in disease? Well this one is being played out on many diverse
levels: intellectual, social and biological. I'm thinking of the
current todo with multiple disease jabs for kids here (MMR) which is a
media long runner in Britain, perhaps elsewhere.
But then, maybe diversity to MOQ-Discuss is a tad unwelcome ;-)
All the best, and thanks again
Jim
