I'll give you an example...say a person held a gun to your
head, and said "there are 4.7 billion people in this world,
and they are the most destructive life form on earth.....why
shouldn't I help this problem by lowering the number to 
4 billion 6 hundred 99 million, 999 thousand 999? after all
you've got to start at the bottom and work your way to the
top."  What would you say, "go ahead, make my day?"  The
fact that you continue living indicates you wouldn't help
eleviate the "destructive" 4.7 billion people problem.
As it is, *you* are a living organism, why should you get to
live.....did you earn it? do you deserve it? 

It's interesting that we spend million protecting animals,
putting seasons on different game, but human life is always
in season, and there is no limit.......

                    priorities, people...
