"But personally, oif the deaths of the right whales is the price we have to pay to make mankind welkl-nourished, then I'd say that's a pretty good deal."

Listen to what you are saying... "the price we have to pay..." That is absolutely the most SELF-CENTERED denial of any situation I have ever heard... Completely ignoring the fact that species extinction affects the entire planet for a minute, what gives you the arrogance and audacity to say you are the one paying a price?

That is about as intelligent an argument as saying, "If the death of a few people in Belgrade is the price WE have to pay to stop Milosevic, then okay" or "If the death of a few black slaves is the price WE have to pay to make our lives easier, so be it."

Give me a break. Who made you god over the right whales, to decide what their fate should be?
