I think I understand where you are coming from - it just really bothers me. I don't understand not being circumspect and taking such a cavalier attitude about extinctions. There is little justification for the self-centered view of humanity that you and others are expressing. It is an archaic, consumption-based viewpoint that lacks any sense of humility or respect for the future (and past) generations. You might be sorry that the species bearing the cure to cancer was wiped out in an Indonesian gold mining operation. Or your kids might. Those assets aren't just yours or the Indonesians, IMO.
