In Christ's time on earth, cynics-- ones who would not be swayed by reason or common sense-- cried for "a sign." Today they cry for statistics. Both are merely excuses for not using your own rational abilities.

All you people wringing your hands over the Amazon rainforest-- have you even bothered to note that it isn't your property, and is therefore none of your business? It belongs to the people of Brazil. How would you feel if a bunch of badly dressed Brazilian tourists showed up one day and began harangueing you on how to trim your shrubs and mow your lawn?

Eco-activists would sacrifice everything to preserve the timber wolf's pristine natural habitat--- while the timber wolf would chuck that same habitat in a second for a can opener, a crate of alpo, and a working pair of opposable thumbs.
