4. I also hear that...
...X number of species goes extinct every second/minute/hour.

Don't remember the figures but it was surprising.

Heyo

8. And how many has mankind been directly responsible for?
Yes, mankind. Few women would be directly responsible for the destruction of entire species. Carly Fiorina being one such woman, though she's far from ladylike... (she's the CEO of HP who has said publically that no American has a right to a job... I have sopme choice words for her but they'd get me banned from DU, let's keep it at that. Though I'm hoping her job goes first and she rots on the street for a few years... Do unto others, I will only be compassionate toward compassionate people. Repukes can suffer for they create only suffering.)

9. What makes you think the female is less deadly than the male.
A read of history doesn't not provide the evidence that the hypothesis is valid.

11. Is that a serious question?
Animal life on earth has been in flux for hundreds of millions of years. Out of that span, humankind has been capable of wiping out whole species for maybe 13,000 years (since the end of the last ice age?).

12. Don't worry
We'll get our chance... It's like standing at the end of a very long line and we humans seem to be very impatient. But the cockroaches have it all figured out. They just let everyone who comes along cut in front of them.

13. So, the Neo-Cons are trying for 100%?!
Edited on Fri Apr-23-04 11:58 PM by icymist
News flash: Earth and Mars trade places. Neo-Cons inherit barren Earth. "We won! We won!", one freeper was heard yelling right before choking to death in a cloud of smog. Meanwhile, Progressives planted seeds of life on Mars, a planet slowly coming to life.

(sarcaism off) ;)
