#1 No, he has it all wrong.

Humans evolved in parallel with the mammoth, and found them very tasty. Probably the most tasty food ever. I say "Get of your lazy tails you scientists, and bring me a Mammoth burger, with all the trimmin's".

Now thats what I call a paleo diet!

#2 Who needs a woolly mammoth?

We all do. It'll end the Endangered Species Act, thus ending the stifling of real progress by the Luddites. No species can go extinct.

#3 Because they taste like pork, but are kosher.

#5 "a whole lot of very nice people"

Wrong about the "nice," and I wouldn't call these eliminationist idiots "people," either.

#6 i can't wait for unicorns. that'll be a wonderful day. they should only use lipizaners to make them so they are only white, grey or black.

Sure you'll love a woolly mammoth or 3. They should create a small herd as it's cruel to make just one. It would be lonely.

Cancer research - we need cancer. It's not a bad way to die when you're old. I hope I get it. At least you get morphine and some warning, it's a lot better than sudden death.

#13 Our asinine dinos are hell-bent
To market their mammoth repellent.
'Ell if I know what's in it --
RINO pee from the Senate? --
But Boehner provides the propellant.

#14 Fauna or Flora [tasty food crops], IT HAS TO SURVIVE WHAT EVER THE SUN = CHANGES IN SOLAR ACTIVITIES, INTENSIFYING GWCC, ETC. INCLUD "MINI-ICE-AGE" THROWS AT IT.

Otherwise, don't waste our time + $$$ on bringing it or "them" back.

ITS BAD ENUFF ALREADY MANY POLITICOS ARE TRYING HARD N-O-T TO LINK GWCC TO ANY SOLAR/SUN CHANGES.

Only confusing us to hell, fooling nobody, + unnecessarily diverting precious scarce resources from dev SpaceTechs that will help Mankind survive the future.
