The problem with screwing around with mother nature is it can bite you in the ass. Look at the gypsy moth. Brought here to produce a better silk. It escapes in a storm and bingo, problem. All these foreign insects and disease's, blights, invasive plants and animals have run amuck in this country. Few examples Wolly Adilged, spelling? eating all the hemlocks on eastern seaboard, Gypsy Moths, Killer bees, Red lilly beetle, purple loosestrife, dutch elm disease, chestnut blight, fruit fly, plant choaking out the everglades and swamps of the south, can't think of it's name, but was thrown from the window of a car into the swamp after a plant show in Fla. many years ago and now is taking over the whole everglades and southern swamps, the list goes on. You save one thing and wipe out another. They are right you have to be careful with things that do not belong in certain areas. Just my 2 cents. Paul
