During the Cold War, the US government considered scenarios for
surviving a nuclear war. This sounds no different and equal in
the level of (in)sanity....*IF* the writer is being truthful in
his reporting of Pianka's words.
From the item:
One of Pianka's earliest points was a condemnation of
anthropocentrism, or the idea that humankind occupies a
privileged position in the Universe. He told a story
about how a neighbor asked him what good the lizards
are that he studies. He answered, "What good are you?"
Pianka hammered his point home by exclaiming, "We're no
better than bacteria!"
Guess what? He's right. Human beings have no more right to
exist than do amoeba. It's their Earth too.
Is he really advocating massive human death, or just admitting
the reality of limited natural resources and continued human
expansion? There's nothing to suggest this wasn't bias and
misrepresentation of Pianka's words by the website owner.
Equally likely, Pianka is simply facing reality: we control our
own population naturally or suffer mass deaths by starvation.
The only differences are (1) animals don't cause pollution and
global warming, and (2) many species of animals sacrifice their
weaker members, the old and the sick, to the predators so that
their young can survive. Disease is the only serious predator
humanity faces anymore. Even if we control the population, that
still isn't enough. The aging population means not enough youth
to tend to the old or mass migration of the young from poor
countries to the wealthy ones.
Until you show otherwise, you're as guilty of overreaching and
anthropocentrism as is the writer of the item. It's amazing how
some are willing to ignore what they don't like because it
doesn't fit their view. *I* and many others don't like it, but
we don't stick our heads in the sand, either.

First of all, you are relying on hearsay evidence from someone who may
or may not have even attended the lecture. According to another author
who was actually in attendance, Pianka *predicted* that up to 90% of
the human race may be killed off by a mutation of the ebola virus.
Predicting is not the same thing as advocating, you know. So your word
choice could be characterized as scare-mongering, yes?
And it may well be that Pianka is right. I don't think we could move
fast enough to protect ourselves from every strain of virus that nature
throws at us.

Mims is a member of the Discovery Institute, a conservative think thank
that promotes bogus science like "intelligent design". That tells you
right there that Mims has an agenda and is not an unbiased source.
You ignored my statement that Pianka is probably right. Read up on
H5N1 avian influenza and our current (inadequate) capacity to respond
to its threat. The outlook for the human race is not so good right
now.
At the same time, I can't help remembering Martin Luther's words: "If
today I knew for certain that the world would end tomorrow, I would
plant a tree" (quoted from memory).

I think that hate for the Bush war criminal is so rife now that he will
have to remain in that bubble if he wishes to remain safe.
If I was BinLadin or an Iraqi or Taliban group leader I would put a price
tag on Bush's head.
And if AmeriKKKan Bill is to be taken at his word and that all means
should be used against the Iraqi freedom fighters, including the murder of
their family members, children etc... Put a bounty on Bush's family members
as well.
20 million, 50 million... Sounds like a good figure.

Yes, it's the same Mims.
It's also the same Mims who was rejected for a position at Scientific
American when they found out he was an antievolution nutcase. Since
then he's been screaming religious discrimination to anyone that will
listen to him- in addition to claiming he was "fired" rather than never
hired.
Mims heard less than half the lecture, by his own admission. He
extrapolated far beyond what he heard to this ridiculous assertion.
It's been on the Dailykos, Pharyngula, and austringer blogs. It appears
also that Pianka (who, by the way, is a world-renowned ecologist- my
graduate class in Ecology used his text) is well to the right of center
in his politics- but probably not for long if they keep up this insane
smear campaign. Are they trying to distract people from DeLay and all
the other whackjob wingnut cases out there?
