Nah. Not gonna touch this one.

Have you ever heard of the 1875 locust plague in the US? Interesting story. In todays dollars, it was a $162 billion loss. The locust here went extinct and no-one is sure why.

Gosh, could it be all that dratted clear-cutting that is supposed to lead to a cascade effect, leading to our own extinction? It's as if the eco-terrorists don't know what they're talking about. ;')
