You take the blonde, and I'll take the one in the turban!!

Was Alligator ever endangered ?  I recall for awhile shoes, handbags etc were extremely expensive.

 I never knew you were a United Nation's type of guy Dave

I believe it was endangered at one time - until enough people figured out how much money you could make off of them. The best way to protect an endangered species is to find a way to profit from it. When man finds a way to make money off of a certain species, you can bet he will find a way to make sure that species is plentiful.

Some people are up-in-arms about logging, but there are more trees in the United States now, than there were when the pilgims landed here. Why? Because it's profitable.

Again, you call me stupid, just because I disagree with you! At least in the bird flu thread you had some sources to back up your opinion. Those sources supported me more than you, but at least you tried. Where are your sources from MY Wildlife and Fishery Dept, claiming that making a profit off of something DOESN'T improve it's chances of survival? (And when did it become MY Wildlife and Fishery Dept. I don't remember anyone giving it to me! )

LMAO Yeah, That's what I figured. 'Nuf said.

You think smoked croc smells bad, you should try Durian? (fruit thingie, can't spell worth  today), as I am sure Badsinger can attest to. It's one of the worst odors I have experiences, other than the old Chinese delicacy, Stinky Tofu.
