As you might guess Tony, I and my closestr colleagues tend to agree with you — but when a statment is put together, you can never get exactly what you want.  The MAHB is simply lending its web site to what we consider a pretty good statement — it was requested by governor Brown and he (and President Xi to whom he gave it in Chinese) are pushing it hard.  It’s also been given to Kerry and likely will get to Obama.  Maybe if it gets enough endorsements the topics can become more common in public discourse, and views like yours can be expressed more readily.  By the way, I was involved in the UCS statement and the very similar one (same time ~19930 from 58 Academies of Science.  They were greetied by the same media silence the new statement has recieved. So I urge you and your friends to endorse and persuade everyone you can to do the same.  Don’t  let the perfect drive out the good (or whatever that old bromide is!  and fight on!  Best, Paul
