Not sure what this is about, but no offense taken.
I too get quickly tired of "VIRUS WARNING!!!!!" and other chicken little
behaviour.
In our area greenpeace (not a good word around here) stopped a century old
sustainable seal harvest, which led to a population explosion for seals (and
unemployment for people). This led to a decimation of our salt water fish
stocks (more by the increased seal population than by people harvesting more
fish). In turn this led to the Europeans (who also stopped the seal
harvest) coming with factory ships inside our 200 mile domestic fishing
limit and ignoring all our harvest restrictions. Now we have a 12 year
cycle of boom / bust in seal populations, and no detectable recovery for our
salt water fish stocks. - - - The sky IS falling . . .
