It’s light hearted fun, not a flippant view of God’s creations. Even most of us who cannot tolerate PETA and the enviro-Nazis, would likely want the Worcester’s buttonquail to remain among the non-extinct species.
I’d be careful with that “God’s creations” stuff though, as when you consider petting a rattlesnake, reading Karl Marx, or electing Barack Obama. Some of “God’s creations” are best kept under a rock or in Chicago.
I was grouchy. I know it’s lighthearted fun. Still, for many conservatives, there seems to be such a lack of respect for natural things. I don’t think it’s right, and I would hate to live in a world bereft of all its most interesting creations...which is where we’re headed. This wasn’t Teddy Roosevelt’s attitude toward nature, and it isn’t mine. Marx and Obama can go screw themselves, they may have been created by God’s process, but they turned from that path long ago. Free will is a b*tch. I have no problem with rattlesnakes though...
