Well, from what i remember, the earth is heading towards the center of the galexy or somthing like that, but that will happen in 2012, and according
to the myan calander, new life will begin. And if massive populations of smaller critters die off from reasons unknown, then us eventualy... kinda
off topic but i would rather die by the earth being hit by a giant rock in space the size of the moon rather than starving to death...

It really saddens me how humans want to 'advance' and 'move forward' in life. Yet here we are, bringing evolutions thousands or even millions of
years back. I was talking to my biology teacher about this subject and she was saying how, the cuter the organism/animal, the more humans care. For
example, if you were told that animal testing was done on golden retriever puppies and that their scalps are cut open and chemicals are dumped onto
it, compared to say the experiment being done on a snake, or a toad. Unfortunately, people would care more about the golden retriever and consequently
have a greater reaction about it. And since most organisms that are becoming extinct aren't THAT attractive, people care less about it. I really
don't know how we can change this. Every single organisms contribute to their niche and ecosystem. And the discrimination of humans can't be any
more insensible.

Think about the common denominator if those species were all to vanish.
Except for fish they are major predators of insects..imagine insect population explosion in next year or so.
