Heh, we're in full agreement on this one!

People often talk of the "balance of nature", as though the other
denizens
of our planet have some kind of sensitivity to an equilibrium between
death and life. Man, of course, is outside this equilibrium, as
evidenced
by the rampant extinction of species and pollution of the earth, blah
blah
blah.

Man, any time you give another species the chance, they HAPPILY eat and
f**k themselves into total oblivion, at great cost the other species in
the ecosystem. It happens all the time.
