#1 I think certain regional & national newspapers going out of business wouldn't be a tragedy.

Oh - and you first, asshole.

#6 He’s not totally wrong. OTOH, “nature, red in tooth and claw”. There are many things the human race could do better. And I believe it will do much better.

The word “unimaginable” is grossly overused. I have no trouble imagining the suffering.

#7 For the clueless "climate change" is an ongoing process that is uncontrollable by whatever puny efforts we humans may want to do. It is not brought about by human energy consumption and generation. It is powered by the Sun effecting the atmosphere and oceans and land masses. The land masses direct the flow of the oceans ... blah blah blah ...
Now a philosophy prof is telling us we're bad. La-Di-Da!
So, long as he's protected within the safety of our society, he'll never have to worry about the whole predator-prey game that is normal to the animal kingdom. Get a life loser. Or show us how to save the planet and end yours.

#9 rid us of the CSPC, polarized electrical outlets and reintroduce the original Lawn Dart (game , not aircraft) and that will be a good self weeding start. follow up with non safety auto glass and removeseat belts airbags and collapsible steering columns and that accelerates the process.
