Utter tragedy of extinctions? I cry every night over the loss  of the smallpox
virus.

I know. Corporations were responsible for the holocaust.  And of course, 
fallout
from state owned nuclear power plants is nothing to be  concerned about.


If I may chime in - I've been following this post  for a while. I have to say 
that, although I try so hard to see Platt's side of  things in an effort to 
be non-biased, I very rarely go beyond thinking that his  rationale is merely 
politically conservative. Every now and then though there is  a flicker of 
light! 
So I pose this question that Platt has mentioned. If we are disagreeing  
about the extinction of certain animals then why do we get so bent when an  animal 
goes away but when a virus goes away (Platt's smallpox) from the same  human 
ways that take away the animal we are joyous? It appears that the MOQ is  
about life, certainly what life is better than the other in the levels. So how  
does the human race take precedence over any other living thing? If humans went  
away couldn't animals live longer (thus "life" live longer?) because they  
don't war or threaten extinction on another. Sure they use the food chain but  
does this carry on into another lower member's demise? 
Please enrich me with your thoughts.
