I agree!  We can't make a geologic judgement without a geologic record 
and we haven't been around long enough with that significant an impact to 
say that we are in a new era.>>

Aren't we in the Holocene by definition forever?  In other words, the
Holocene started 10,000 years before this instant in time, and the Holocene -
Pleistocene boundry is forever moving forward in time at exactly 10,000 years
ago....  Or am I totally wrong?
