The Right Virus
Mark Musser
David Graber, biologist, National Park Service: "Human happiness, and certainly human fecundity, is not as important as a wild and healthy planet: Some of us can only hope for the right virus to come along."

Well, I'll just put forth my conviction that Graber is an idiot. That's just my thinking, of course.

I think you are giving the man too much credit, Dana. Even an idiot sometimes can be found useful. Hard to imagine how Grabel could possibly serve any useful purpose.

He's a useless idioot! There should be a new term for that!

I'd say you came up with a good one, except for the spelling error.

Well, I was trying for a braying alliteration. Idioooooooooot! Like a Canadian might say, or one of your Lutka fish eating neighbors.

Ah, I see your point.
And by the way, it's "lutefisk," pronounced "LUDE-ah-fisk." Just to update you on the scandahoovian dialect. I know how to spell it, and pronounce it. I'd never be caught dead actually eating it.

Thanks Dana but I really could have gotten through life without that knowledge.
I wouldn't eat the stinky things either.

Of course you wouldn't, but knowledge is always a good thing.
I'm sure I told you that the first (or second) year we were in Minnesota, there were billboards advertising Windsor Canadian whisky as "Lutefisk helper." Was maybe my favorite advertising campaign.
