THE EXCITING TIME IN WHICH WE LIVE

Species are struggling for life, while man pretends he is not among those. Penguins are finding fewer acres of natural habitat and a larder getting quite bare. Pollution contamination of air, water and soil continues at a rapid rate from the discharge of harmful substances. Greed of humans, for much for which they have little real need, is destroying or ruining the habitat of many animals. More greed is evidenced in poaching and weird ideas about parts of animals that will make humans more sexually virile, raise libido, and all sorts of erroneous results promised. Overpopulations of animals limits their resources. The result is many of them die off from starvation or illnesses caused by their subsequent physical weaknesses.

Tigers, Pandas and the Black Rhinoceros are currently being greatly threatened in the wild. They cannot all be saved as a species by zoos alone. The Center for Natural Resources writes as follows: Countless species have gone extinct from natural processes. Unfortunately we can no longer attribute the accelerating extinction of plants and animals to natural causes. Today most species of plants and animals become extinct because of habitat destruction (loss of living space to development or pollution) introduction of non-native organisms, and direct killing (overharvesting, poisoning). Since the widespread settlement of Florida in the mid-1800s, at least 19 species of animals and 12 plants are believed to have become extinct.

To view some of these check out the various available sites. We are being told there are so many. Now we can only hope to keep man from joining the other animals of the world. However, there are some dangerous threats that might be abolished. The animals within the Bush Administration and their backers who speak directly to God, write the 'Swift boat' campaign ads, and manipulate the Diebold voting machines might be considered on the priority list to go. May they be replaced by politicians with integrity, morality and ethics Like some in the past who cared for their country more than themselves and their greedy friends.

Maybe some of those who talk directly to God can do something about this dire situation. Rather, however, than leaving it all to God's will, perhaps we might give an assist with some legal processes. It seems there is not quite enough evidence to prove all the felonies committed but it might happen after these wonders leave office, unimpeached, to face the real desserts of their Administration. It is sad, indeed, that we can only dream of Justice in our country again.
