mislav:Now this is where your advocacy steps in and I've made it perfectly clear that I do not intend to preach or wage a war of arguments in this thread. You have your views and I have mine.
So, you can fume all you want, but I won't lose any sleep over it.
Eloquently stated. Speaking in absolutes signifies a perspective which generally paints people into a corner. Not terrific for open discourse. As fellow organisms on this planet we are entitled to live here and since we've managed to impact it greatly, humans (collectively) have responsibility for its management. Like it or not, that's how it tends to be these days. How we perform our sheparding duties could be determined by:
* The situation at hand (is it a natural process and how grave is it?)
* What are the after effects should I intervene (consequences)
What we do as individual divers is pretty minute in the larger scheme of things.
Just my two cents. X
