    Sorry, the Horsemouse is gone now.

    Do you like those nice big, juicy fruits and vegetables they sell at the market, and the fact that even poor people can afford bread? I sure do.
    And I know that they would not be available for me to enjoy, but for the sum total of several thousands of years of cultivation, which is simply selective breeding and hybridization of plants to emphasize the qualities desired by the farmer, and to de-emphasize the qualities the farmer doesn't want. This technique is no different from animal husbandry. The ancestors of that horse likely looked nothing like the horsemouse, but they carried in their genes the information that makes the existence of such a tiny horse possible. All people did was to encourage those traits to manifest themselves. Just as some dog breeds require medical attention, so do food crops require constant tending by people in order to survive. Wild plants can survive on their own, but they can't feed a non-nomadic human population.
    So, unless you eat wild berries and grasses every day for dinner like a deer, you are benefiting every day from the largesse which is the result of the human "tampering" which you vilify.

    Your difference with certain others will be in the how-different-are-plants-and-animals department.

    In any case, some breeding with animals is done for human amusement, so get over it.

    Guys and Lady, is there ever a case or situation where "tampering" by man of fruits, vegetables, or animals would be acceptable to you all? I mean there are such things as mutations out there that man did not cause, n'est pas? Or are you all saying that none of the above should ever be tampered with?

    I like mutations. I would like to be able to use magnets like Magneto.

    Gone? You mean the web page, or the horse?

    fuck boysenberries and their pie.

    Again, this started about tampering with SPECIES and became (read: was DERAILED into) plants. I never argued anything about plants. I'm just talking about our need to play god, particularly with the animal kingdom.
