Well Christine, I can't speak for every creature, but I had the definite feeling the whales in the area were glad I wasn't a Makha Indian about to spear and then shoot them with a 50 caliber rifle.

Banning personal freedom also has it's negative and positive effects on the world. In the grand scheme of things, scooting around in a personal watercraft is about as destructive to the environment as 10 seconds of speed-boat racing in the San Francisco Harbor. I suppose we could ban them all, ban all forms of recreation boating, sailing, etc.

That may seem like a wonderful benign world to some. But to me it smells like Eco-terrorism in the extreme.

Christine, how many innocent flying insects have you slaughtered with your Volvo?
You should be ashamed of yourself. Or are you one of those insensitive types who say insects don't count?

I was standing in front of my jeep today and noticed a grass hopper mutilated on the radiator. The remorse I felt over this needless death of an insect made me wonder why I even come out of the house!!

Hello Christine. Are you feeling wacky today?
