The human population will one day be culled...either by our own hubris or the result of some microbial agent we unleash onto our own world. I don't know what the carrying capacity of the planet is for humans, but its gotta be getting pretty damn close to the tipping point. Natural disasters that only used to kill 100 people, now kills thousands. NO ANIMAL can over consume its resources without some repercussions. Ann Coulter's view that the bible gives man domain over the beast of the field means to rape and pillage, take it, its yours...is a view in which more than a few people subscribe.
