So many things to comment on, so little time.

To quote the Matrix, "Humans are a disease." We reproduce over and over, spreading and destroying the land, killing off the native species while nearly starving ourselves. It's horrible that we supposedly have "intelligence" when we haven't the sense to use birth control and there are families with seven children that haven't the money to even feed them.

If we have the chance to use an alternative fuel to decrease pollution, do we use it? No! Why? Either because it costs more than the old, polluting fuel source or people would lose their jobs (the fuel additive from corn, for example).

Why is it that we go hunting for fun, then complain about world hunger? Why can't we send the meat to the homeless? Or, better yet, why don't we just reintroduce the original predator? Hmm?

I let you eat your meat since that is the nature of our species, but if we can go without it, I think we should be civilized enough to do just that. I'm a vegetarian, and even though I have always loved chicken and pork, I wouldn't want to be the chicken or pig that was born, raised, and killed to be someone else's meal.

On cannibalism, I think that it's as good an idea as anything. If we haven't the sense to do anything better, why not? Eat the stupid. Oh, another note on over population, the reason it doesn't happen to other species is because of natural selection. That's one reason why there's so many of us. People who would've been eaten as any other creature live out their lives, being just another mouth to feed.

I know, I have powerful opinions that are pretty much the opposite of the majority of people out there, but I'm entitled to them. I will stop my ranting now. Sorry, I think.

Oh, and be slightly on topic, I saw in my Science room today with a man of the last name of "Oliphant." Made me think of Oliphaunts.
