Responding to the Kangaroo Post

Good God!
It is my sincerest opinion that whoever posted the bit about kangaroo birth control has no idea what this blog is for! He/She should have posted about something pertaining to such things as globalization, and things we generally discussed in class. This had nothing to do with the spread of communications systems, culture, development, growth, geopolitical framework, transportation, corporations, money, global events, war, climate, bioregions, food, urbanization, or any other relevant topic I failed to mention. The scientist who is comtemplating 3 years of research for kangaroo birth control should not have passed through the Australian school system. If this weren't a class blog, I would suggest horrible things that should be done to that scientist. Kangaroos are considered pests in Australia, especially by farmers who have their crops devoured by the things. Dear are regarded in much the same way in Minnesota, so you know what we do about them? We shoot them. We hunt quail and ducks, so it should be no obstacle to kill them in the wilds with a shotgun. As for urban hunting, there are such things as traps, with or without posion. Mm, mm, dead kangaroos.

Ah, more or less an adendum to what I said. It was around 10:00pm when I posted, so what I said was a bit exagerated. It still, however, do not understand what kangaroo birth control has to do with globalization. As for kangaroos being the pride of Australia, big woop, Americans used to hunt eagles when they were too numerous.

Actually the Kangaroo Birth Control post was appropriate. We had been discussing the proliferation of the deer population locally and some of the measures that have been taken in various communities to control the deeer. The kangaroo story is and example of the the same kind of thing in another part of the world.

Please be respectful of others in your posts.
