The planet has either ridded itself of life or been subject to mass extinctions in the past. Obviously, the dinosaurs are first and foremost that come to mind.
The hippies that cry about trees or frogs dying off are simply ignorant of our planet's history. Face it; eventually, this rock in space will become uninhabitable. At some point, our Sun, and Earth will die. I'll not overly inconvenience myself in order to prolong the agony of a later generation that is already doomed.

RR, When it comes to logging, make no mistake, we have the ability to clear cut the planet. Controls have to be in place. My complaint about our environmentalists is that they hate to see logging in the United States, so they shut it down here but the same amount of logging keeps happening, it's just in Russia, South America or Canada. The most environmentally sound timber practises are right here in the United States. Seems to me that we should be responsible for providing more of our own resources as a matter of policy. Post Script, Jack, I wear my hair very short. |
