- What do you find satisfying, Mike? Or Mr McGowen et al? I think you
- are making artificial distinctions here, unless you are actually a
- pair of Western Speckled Drongos or some such creature which has
- learned to peck at a computer keyboard for fear of becoming extinct.
- Both being male you would have fun breeding, however.

- In the meantime, unless human communities are set up and managed much
- better than they are now for sustainable prosperity, that real people
- feel they have a better chance in life, the environment is not going
- to have a snowflake's chance in hell.
-
- It is starving people who would kill the last creature left on earth,
- not wealthy people with full bellies, yes?
