I sure as hell don’t believe the sky is falling and that we’re going to be doomed if there are changes in the coral reefs.

The idea that things actually can change or should be allowed to change seems anathema to environazis. They want the world to be static as it is today, even though the world has never been static.

A fire destroying hundreds of thousands of acres of forest is OK. Mt St Helen destroying thousands of square miles of ecosystems and sending millions of tons of ashes and poisonous gases in the atmosphere is OK. People touching a tree in the millions of acres inhabited by the spotted owl is a national disaster.

I hope the people will one day wake up to the scams perpetrated by the scaremongering coAgitators - all to impose their marxist views on the rest of us.

Maybe it's not all about you.

Or maybe it is. You might look into how many pharmaceuticals, including potent anti-cancer drugs, have been derived from reef organisms.

Things change all the time. Take the passenger pigeon. That changed. Or the dodo. Or the Steller's sea cow.

I have nothing against change. However, I'd prefer it if humans didn't change things so fast such that natural species go extinct directly because of human activities. If that makes me a Marxist -- I'm surprised.
