There should be an extinction countdown clock!
I think a graphic, showing the relative closeness to extinction of major species, as bars, would go a long way towards educating humans. This shouold already exist. It would allow any revision to get reported. Maybe even a representation of how many individuals that represents. This information could be integrated with zoos and such. We have been told that many species have about ten to twenty years to exist. This would make the bars rise rapidly. Making the graphic obnoxious enough to not be ignored. What do youall think?

6. You know that gets hot quick, as war is so effective, at moving bars.

3. I think this is a great idea. I'd like to see it implemented.
Doesn't this info already exist somewhere, Gman2?

4. Not that I know of. I would do it, if I were capable. I can bullshit, but my disease
has me shuffling feverishly to survive. No, not my disease, our sociopathic system. The board, could be a running thing, in time square or ?. When people see bars shooting up, and see some peg the bar, it will make sense to more people. It could shift the public to extreme hostility to republican man dominates the environment, he cant harm it, and should be able to use it any way they can afford to destroy it. If people would gather here, as a network, perhaps this could be a reality. I live in San Diego. And am close personal friends with all the Bonobo's. I am not a tree hugger, but am increasingly unable to cook whole anything. Which is a bad thing when you are poor. People, I wouldnt regularly pimp for bumps on a thread, but I would like to attract people that could push this with me. I would be willing to man any post that this project could need.

The bar chart, could be online, and break out the categories further. With indepth reports available. A repository of any and all info. It would be a favorite resource for students. It would dissallow the libertarians from using their usual who cares about polar bears crap. There could be study centers at all zoos. With online hookup to further resources. A central repository with tentacles online.

5. Excellent
This way we can plan better for the preservation of the human species! I am convinced that it has been long overdue since we were able to care about each other as an entire species anyway.
