Of course. The Insects rule the animal kingdom.

And the bacteria are even more plentiful. The point is that people are BIG time these days. We are no longer a couple of million hunter-gatherers. Being big time, means big effects, no matter what we do. If we cut back on any essential aspect of our technology, somebody is going to lose big. As I mentioned, cut back on farm chemicals, and people will starve. We must stop trying to do things PERFECTLY (the only way that the Left can tolerate) and start doing them ADEQUATELY. That is the best that we can do.

At the end of the next century, when there are many fewer humans on the planet, our descendants will have more options, perhaps. Or less. It is hard to predict. Right now, humans are grossly overpopulated, and something is going to take care of that. If we do it ourselves by humane means, that is great. Otherwise, Mother Nature is going to reduce the human population the hard way.
