Those two stories about Rio Verde and the Menhaden both in my view highlight what a shortsighted, borderline stupid species we are. We continue to do things with no thoughts of the consequences of our actions, over and over--especially when it comes to this planet's living and natural resources--and then we profess shock/dismay when those resources no longer exist, or become so rare that they are impossible to find.
