     Thanks Natasha for your comment about Michael Ventura.  I've never met 
     the man.  Do you know what he meant about "the belly of the beast"?  
     Does the quote I mentioned seem to connect to the person you met or is 
     there incongruity there.  I'm very big on a person being the truth 
     s/he speaks.  Not always easy in error-prone humanity.  But my motto 
     is when you screw up, you atone and realign yourself to your creed.
     
     Brian, I'm familiar with Drexler's work and have not taken on 
     Nanosystems yet but read the much lighter, lay-friendly "Engines of 
     Creation".  I am optimistic that his dreams will be realized in our 
     lifetime!
     
     Regards
