      So you're saying we should continue to do whatever we want, dump toxic waste into the ocean, strangle dolphins with our plastic debris because "life, uh, finds a way"?

        Don't make me your strawman. That's not what I am saying at all. I just think all life is special.

        What did George Carlin say? Paraphrasing: "Maybe the Earth made humans because it didn't know how to make plastic. Now it's done with us."
