Yeah, they do get carried away, donīt they...

Some scientists just donīt know when to stop. Wife says, food is ready! Scientist goes, Iīll be there in a sec honey, just have to finish microscoping this piece of snake[bleep]! And then he discovers some decisive interesting thing, and remains glued to the microscope for a whole week.

In the end he of the week he doenīt even offer some rational explanation except, Iīm so sorry bout that settes. I found science doesnīt respect legislation some times at least.. Itīs not fair, if legislation respects science it should be the same the other way around but I kid you not, for the most part AR philosophy just wonīt dissolve smoothly into the fabric of responsible legislation. It just stands out as spikes and sharp hooks woven into the fabric. I think thatīs dangerous even, cause it reduces the strength of the moral fabric of legislation and those spikes and hooks, if not removed in time can really tear the ethics in society, and of you sit on it you will get hooked by the end till it bleeds. In a broader context I think this may prove to have negative consequences for biodiversity and the humane society of moral agents and their buts.

The world of today is in many respects still taking a turn in for the worse and it looks as though in the decades to come the bacteria are in for a feast, but those guys are all edible and all present, in no danger of extinction. Certain parasites are also making a bald bloom but as prey animals disappear I think the most dangerous viral strains may feed themselves towards a sudden population collapse due to over exploitation and reckless disrespect towards their hosts.

I think some scientists often end up chasing the wrong mites when they are asked to prove the positive viral strains supposedly linked to ectoparasites.

But I think or at least I hope Dr. Fry is a good guy. In any case that is up to the individual snake to decide.

Still.. if we could thin out he ranks of rabid scientists I think that could help our cause a great deal but being a hobbyist myself Iīm not sure how to achieve this?

Anyways, appreciate your thoughts on the matter.

Thanks

oby
