Balance

[Bruce Walsh]

So as to not polarized our friendly leps list further, let me state that
those opposing releases may indeed have solid science behind their
opposition (or at least very legitimate concerns), but they need to show that
they concerns have real biological impact.  Individuals on both side of the
debate need to keep an open mind and let the facts, rather than strong
emotions (on BOTH sides), drive the issue.

Speaking of whimsical, does  NABA think it is OK to collect all those
released butterflies before they cause any harm?  Just a thought.

Peace

Bruce
