BOSSKEY: "This isn't exactly evolution. It's completely out of scale thanks to human technologies. The problem is, we're wiping out species before we understand how they might help us, like how doctors have found cures for diseases in rare tropical plants, or how scientists are inspired to solve a technology problem based on properties or behaviors in exotic animals or plants. Once we wipe them out prematurely, we lose valuable head starts, provided for free by nature, for solving our problems. You also feel great letting species go without caring if they might have invisible current value. For instance, you're ready to let toads go. What if they happen to be a key part of the insect control system in your area, and taking them out leads to flourishing populations of disease carrying insects that can now descend on you in vastly increased numbers? That's the other problem with unnaturally accelerated extinction, you may never know when you're upsetting a balance somewhere."Yeah, yeah, "coulda, shoulda, woulda...what if...blah blah blah"...I could use the same argument for abortion. "How many 'Einsteins in their respective fields have we 'prematurely' extinct?' Take your guilt to church and leave it out of secular politics.I will end this with my George Carlin trump card:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eScDfYzMEEw
