Pretty much everybody who can read your message (ability to read, access to computer, electricity) agrees with you. US birth rate is positive only because of Central American immigrants.

I think, if they truly pay attention to the decisions that get to that place, they will wish we, as a species, had made different choices. Once a species is gone, no one can bring it back. Maurice is right, if you cut the pines, you get more blackberry brambles growing in the sun. But, just as a person who lives only on one strain of wheat is dangerously vulnerable to any disruption in that supply (weather, disease, etc.), life on this planet is proportionally more resilient and ultimately stronger with greater diversity of species. If you can't eat Chilean Sea Bass today, you eat Snapper. Allow the Sea Bass population periods to stabilize. If there are no more Sea Bass, or Snapper or Cod or King Crabs or Salmon or Halibut or anything that we used to consider tasty, the humans of this planet may regret their choices. By then it will be too late. Too late for those species and too late to return to that prior quality of life for Humans. It may not be too late to sustain ourselves but, to reverse the history of species elimination, Humans will have to remember how we got here. As you know, there are at least two sides to every story. There will always be someone saying the causes for species death was not the cause of humans. -Darin
