I guess you were all pissed off at the spotted owls losing their habitat in the 90's due to logging?
It's an animal, there's no conclusive evidence that man caused this from happening, and even if they did, it was around for 20 million ****ing years! isin't that long enough?
Anyway, it's a small price to pay for progress.
I get irritated yes when I see woods and forrest bulldozed down to make way for million dollar McMansions even though it helps my business and Im not a liberal.
I do however have a healthy respect for our environment and see it in the best interest of all involved to preserve it if for no other reason then our pleasure rather then destroy it or help make it worse under this BS guise of "We are but a part of whats happening and not the whole." logic
It may very well be true that nature is taking its course. Be it global warming or animal extinction.
But I can see no sane logical reason whatsoever that can be presented
Why we should help it along if we dont absolutely have to.
Lets say ones house is struck by lighting and set afire. And the fire spreads, as is the "natural" thing fires do.
Now lets say ones family is in the house.
Would it be ok to toss a gallon of gas on the fire?
After all. the fire it self was a result of a natural event and your gallon of gas isnt going to make much of a difference. And there is no "conclusive evidence" that your tossing a gallon of gas on the house fire is going to make it any worse then it would have gotten on its own.
Yes. things happen naturally not always to our liking.
That does NOT mean its ok to help it along.
Yes, one drop in a glass of water. But eventually all it takes is one more drop to make that glass overflow.
Or maybe put it into a context that people here REALLY care about.
If left alone to let nature take its natural course a WWII airplane will eventually rust away and fall apart.
Why not just let them all go? They only been around 60+ friggen years.
Isnt that long enough?
Or maybe your parents/grandparents. If left alone to let nature do its thing naturally they might be gone a heck of alot sooner too.
Do we say, ehh screw it. They are going to die anyway sooner or later. Why give them medicine, or why take care of them. We are only postponing the inevitable.
But no. why try to preserve them if for no other reason then our enjoyment and pleasure. Because we like having them around.
The largest problem I have with the "Man has little to no impact" clowns is they tend to not think in any kind of depth whatsoever beyond their own personal greed and how it might inconvenience THEM.
This makes them every bit as bad as the environmental clowns screaming the sky is falling due to man over every little thing.
Yes. Things happen in the natural world that may not be good for us.
That does NOT mean we should give ourselves license to help it along unnecessarily no matter how minimal an impact it is.
