Ordinarily the 'smilie header' of this thread WOULDA been something like: ...but as soon as I saw the otherwise captivating (for ME, anyway..) news... http://www.todaysthv.com/news/natInt/story.aspx?storyid=124478&catid=288 ...the FIRST thing I thought (An' I bet there's more than a "few" of you that'll back my sentiments up, too!)... ...was: GREAT! Just some more new species for mankind to wreck & ruin and ultimately destroy (i.e. exterminate into extinction)...all in the name of urban development (e.g. plundering & pillaging of their lands), pollution, hunting, and...of course...research... ...all in the name of 'progress'.

You learn something new everyday, indeed. Perhaps it's best if we're not to be bothering those new species that was discovered in Amazon.
Witnessing modern mankind's machinations the way *I've* have, bothering 'em (an understatement, m8) is an *inevitablity*... Sad but true.. OpinionsCartoonStudios@Yahoo.Co.UK
Uh, we never learn... Humans today have to learn the hard way that they HAVE TO leave the species alone. Great White Sharks is now on the list, among the others. Great White Sharks is going to becoming extinct if we keep going. We have to learn how to share with the others.
NOT a case of my trumpeting my own fleugelhorn & sayin' "I told ya so!" Not at ALL! Just that we now present the proverbial Other Side Of The Coin, sad as it may be to see....you all *knew* it was an *inevitablility*: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/10/26/AR2010102607146.html No surprise to *me*.....
