**Further off topic**
We need to gain some perspective here in my opinion.
You may not have seen industrial scale engineering. If there was a reason Mt. Everest could be removed, completely, in a year or less. Living things cannot work on that timescale. Volcanic eruptions generally do not destroy species unless they have already been isolated to the volcano's region. Vulcanism is generally a periodic event and so this isolation does not happen naturally.

Species diversity is not a symetrical event. It takes tens of thousands of years (average) for a new species to arise but they can disappear in days.

On topic, ** I can't say for sure, but I have invested in a few companies that looked real good but strange rumors have surrounded them, like a giant crisis over the last few miles of a many thousand mile fiber optic rollout. (RMBS is an example). Well , in most cases it turns out that the company that seems so good is in fact really good, and someone is figuring that this is their last best chance to steal the company from the early adopters. Or, in other words, Level 3 is close to paying off and big players want your shares.

OT I completely agree...and sometimes in trying to "preserve" (such as forests) we disrupt nature's natural tendency to overall balance, screw up ecosystems, and get the crazy fires in the southwest and west we had this summer.

Actually, who says we are different than nature anyway? We're part of nature and what we do is actually natural.
