I appreciate your comments on imposing culture on others being wrong, as everyone has really agreed upon in this thread.

As far as the comparison with fishing for food vs nuclear destruction, yes that would be a little on the extreme side, I think anyone can see that. On the other hand, the comparison I think that does make sense, is between two things which have the potential to hurt life in general on a global scale. That topic is something that most people would probably stand up for, protecting human life, although the question is then raised, what could cause a threat to life? Well, nukes could do it in a second or two, and other things take more time. I may stand alone on this, but I think that the degradation of nature is not only a terrible shame but will catch up with us when we don't expect it. As I said before, I am really not an environmental activist, but I DO NOT believe that humans are in a little bubble which operates under its own rules. We are part of something larger which could seriously hurt us if we are unaware.

On a separate note, (not directed at you, Danio), I would say that many people are not interested in investing time into researching topics such as these, but they still have steadfast opinions on how things should be addressed. Would anyone agree?
