In refrence to the analogy of destroying beaver dams and destroying planets, I agree whole-heartedly that we should do everything in our power to better our way of life, BUT (just as a thought), when the beaver dam overflows into an area which us humans need, we turn around and destroy the beaver dam. With further quests into the stars, whose to say we won't be messing up "somebody's back yard"? And furthermore, what are "they" going to do to remove our "beaver dam".........Again just a thought....... The Pessimistic Astronaut
