>>It is a dynamic body with species coming and going.<< Unfortunately it is becoming a planet of weeds. Just within the last year locally we've been infested by a nasty bird called the European Starling, and an invasive weed called Purple Loosestrife. I sure hope we can eradicate them before they get fully established. We also had a small outbreak of rats a couple years ago, but managed to kill them off. Anchorage is still the only major port city in North America without rats, so I guess this would be a good place to hide out during an epidemic of the bubonic plague.

"If we have to finish off ourselves, so it will be" No immediate risk of that. But we are finishing off other species at an unprecedented rate, through habitat destruction. It clearly doesn't bother you, as it doesn't bother most people. But it bothers me.

<For instance an elephant? a mere 100.000 year to develop.> ElM, we can do it a lot faster than that. Especially with a bunch of eggs/sperm stored and some genetic engineering. Mqurice
