RE: NFC: Re: Auctions OT

Hello
You can believe that even poison ivy and mosquitoes fulfill a niche; but if
so then to carry that theory on so do germs, bacteria and viruses.
Therefore Pasteur was wrong then
And so am I when I vaccinate myself, my children and my live stock and swat
bugs to boot ?
Maybe we should not spend any more money on general health problems of the
world

Nature is fine but only up to a point
Blindly following the tree hugger philosophy is not necessarily the smartest
thing in the world to practice or do !

So do some birds, but do we despise them for it?  My point is that herps,
snakes in particular, have gotten a pretty bad rap over the eons because of
some learned fear passed down from generation to generation.  I agree with
you
that we should keep fish stuff with fish stuff, but I've never heard of a
native plant or animal being pests or a "major source of problems".
Everything
fulfills a niche, even poison ivy and mosquitos! :)
