but look at how much resistance people have put up to prevent the stressed animals of wintertime Yellowstone from being chased about by hordes of snowmobiles Too funny. Have you ever chased a buffalo on a snowmobile?? BTW, snowmobiles are restricted to the roads in Yellowstone and can't go willy nilly all over the park chasing animals...

the introduced species take over without the grazing. Clarify, please. The only way to make whole on loss of habitat is to put some entire ecosystems under protection. I agree, but I can't imagine any feasible way to do that. The best thing I can think of I have already done, which is to name the Nature Conservancy my beneficiary. Karen

cosmicforce, Thinking about the topic of cost benefit analysis when it comes to environmental issues.. I think of the movie, "Erin Brockovich" when she asked the woman attorney from PG&E, "What her uterus was worth?". The male attorney, "What his spine was worth?" and on and on.. And I imagine, the worth decreases as the relationship, distances.. Until they become damn near worthless to most people as they enter the third world.. And the movie brought out other issues to me.. Here a outspoken and brash person recognizes the morality of an issue before most, makes waves and p!sses people off.. Until it turns out, she was right.. And then I imagine, ALL people jump on the morality band wagon, after it was SAFE.. I imagine the polite establishment people, would not dare take a stand like this in real life, but cheered her on in the Virtual..because it was SAFE. Just my thoughts, coug
