- burgerbrain 16y agoPerhaps we should stop inventing better mousetraps, lest we "get careless" about maintaining properly cleaned homes. And maybe we should stop making hybrid cars, lest we "get careless" about only driving when necessary. Give me a break.
- tintin 16y agoI'll give you a break. My point is: sometimes we are getting careless about our environment because we think technology will fix what we break. But as I said this news is exciting.
- mrleinad 16y agoYou're a disgrace to the nerd & geek community Mr. You bring nothing but dishonor to us.

If you want to think about the consequences of acting, you must also think about the consequences of inaction. Would there be as many wolf, coyote, bear and cougar attacks to people and herds in North America if there were a greater diversity.
