LEOPOLD Sanders

I definately agree with Leopold, and that there are unseen consequences to everything that we do. Its all about balance, and cutting out the predator means that there is no more selection process to weed out the weak. There was a common problem on a reef a while back where starfish took it over because they took away all of their natural predators. Its unforetunate that we can't just let nature take its course. We need to adapt instead of trying to make nature conform to what we would like it to be.
The fifth paragraph that Sanders writes is so true instead of fixing the problem the government just patches the problem until it needs fixing again. Its true that our society is a lie and we are told that "things" make us happy. I liked how the author says "It's a pacifier for the ego to suck on," in reference to the American dream that is sold to us every day.
