I don’t wish to be difficult, but, frankly, I’m struggling to believe that the average person in, say, Zimbabwe or Botswana is being left trembling and distraught by the Latin textbook name of a lizard or beetle. But hey, for those moved to tears, tissues are available at the bar.

Our Native commentators on the endangered Deer population which is destroying the endangered brush population by their overpopulation…our governments pay extremely well to push everything is endangered in Canada when everything is illegal by our politicians unless you get trained and licensed and insured…and the multitude of laws and restrictions to follow through with hefty fines for any infractions.

White men gave the world modernity, convenience, luxury and wonders of invention. High standard of living, and much much more …. And this is how you treat them?
