[PCA] NEWS: 'Doomsday' seed vault opens in Norway

[A & T Schrum]

I saw the story on the news this evening.  What bothered me was that 
only agricultural crops are being stored.  There is no way that the 
planet will continue if it's planted only with corn, wheat, peanuts, 
coffee (to be sure) and several other crops.  So lacking is the 
understanding of plant communities and ecosystems it makes me sad enough 
to cry.
