So, OK, imagine you're down to the last known mating pair

[Jackpine Radical]

of Republicans.

Do you let them go extinct, or do you put them on the Endangered list and try to breed them in captivity?

[annabanana]

1. I'd say send them to Plum Island where they can't contaminate the

rest of the Country. . . But apparently Plum Island is being "moved" to somewhere in Kansas....

[PDJane]

2. Depends.........

on whether you are trying to keep an absolutely pure blood line or not. Their offspring may be "pure", but they'll have to interbreed to survive.

It's all a matter of perspective.

[Jackpine Radical]

4. I'm assuming the surviving pair is already pretty interbred.

Let's just say you couldn't make many slingshots out of the typical Republican family tree.

3. let them go extinct

what's the pill for if not for this?

[IDemo]

5. Go ahead and stuff them and put them in the Creation Museum

next to the T-Rex.

9. Maybe RIDING

the T-Rex, or at least a brontosaurus.

12. I was thinking more with the rex wearing a bib and holding a fork

[Jackpine Radical]

16. I like that image.

Especially since Rexie would be the only one in the tableau that appears capable of eating with utensils.

The last breeding pair means that their children would have to mate with

each other, not a good thing genetically I have been led to believe. You really need to save the last tribe, herd or flock to save an extinct species, or so they tell me.

11. See #4 above.

[Speck Tater]

6. My conservative parents gave birth to two liberal offspring.

And one conservative offspring. But those adds are pretty good.

[FarLeftRage]

7. Send 'em the way of the Dodo...

They are known pests that must die off.

[BuyingThyme]

8. Freeze 'em, like Disney.

[BrklynLiberal]

10. That's a great idea..Then in the future when there is a cure, defrost them.

[Jackpine Radical]

13. But if there are only 2 left, and they're both frozen,

who's gonna finance research on a cure?

[BrklynLiberal]

18. Aha! A fly in the ointment!!!

[Ohio Joe]

14. Doesn't matter

It is not genetic, it is a mental disorder that could reappear at any time.

[Lasher]

15. Keep them seperate.

And make sure they get refresher courses on abstinance every day. No wait, that doesn't work. Just keep them locked up in separate cages.

[BeFree]

17. Geez

....with posts like this the freepers are gonna be outdone.

Funny as hell, JP.

[WindRiverMan]

19. If I am in charge, they go the way of the passenger pigeon

I would of course, have them mounted and displayed prominently in the Smithsonian though, something tasteful, under glass.............

[Jackpine Radical]

20. Don't say "mounted."

I'm from Wisconsin. That kind of language brings all sorts of very twisted images to mind.

[csziggy]

23. Presumably in the missionary position n/t

[amborin]

21. LOL

[leftofthedial]

22. extinct.

social darwinism.

they'd approve.
