Yep...that's what I'm trying to get across.
And a good example of the apathy you speak of is the response that Dean got on the Tortoise forum regarding the Gopher Tortoise project. I'd be willing to bet good money that every single one of them thought "Well, I can't get or keep Gopher Tortoises anyway so it doesn't affect me." or something very close to that. You would think that would the the forum where he got the MOST response. None of them ever stopped to think about future implications or the other species that are affected. If it doesn't affect them directly and right now, they can't be bothered with it. By the time they realize that it DOES affect them and every one of us, it's too late.
I have been trying to find people around here to help me start a Society with the goals mentioned in my previous post for the state of Georgia, but no one seems to want to devote the time and a little bit of money to get it going. I guess I'll have to do it by myself.
