I it as silly as saying nobody would ever ride a horse again 100 years ago. Maybe hyperbola to get in the news, get quoted and thus make more $. Sort of the Ann Coulter of the Green Movement. There seems to be two sides to this. My side that kicks and screams about excessive population growth and how it destroys nice places to live while sucking up global resources. His side that sees there is a ton of money to be made from destroying the planet with excessive growth so they can pretend to be "green" and advocate ways to mitigate the damage such as driving less, cramming into tighter spaces where everyone rides a bike or takes a bus, etc. THey make a bundle with aps to share the few cars that a few can afford if they let someone else sneeze and get their germs all over their steering wheels, etc...

The Coyote Principle CALIFORNIA The Governor of California is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out and attacks the Governor's dog, then bites the Governor. The Governor starts to intervene, but reflects upon the movie "Bambi" and then realizes he should stop because the coyote is only doing what is natural. He calls animal control. Animal Control captures the coyote and bills the state $200 testing it for diseases and $500 for relocating it. He calls a veterinarian. The vet collects the dead dog and bills the State $200 testing it for diseases. The Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked for diseases from the coyote and on getting his bite wound bandaged. The running trail gets shut down for 6 months while Fish & Game conducts a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is now free of dangerous animals. The Governor spends $50,000 in state funds implementing a "coyote awareness program" for residents of the area. The State Legislature spends $2 million to study how to better treat rabies and how to permanently eradicate the disease throughout the world. The Governor's security agent is fired for not stopping the attack. The state spends $150,000 to hire and train a new agent with additional special training for the nature of coyotes. PETA protests the coyote's relocation and files a $5 million suit against the state. TEXAS The Governor of Texas is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out and attacks his dog. The Governor shoots the coyote with his state-issued pistol and keeps jogging. The Governor has spent $.50 on a .45 ACP hollow point cartridge. The buzzards eat the dead coyote. And that, my friends, is why California is broke and Texas is not.
