Fuck the Galapagos.

All I want is to reproduce, and the tried and true method of attracting a mate is to offer a more desirable environment to raise our young. The jet boat is simply my prize for being at the top of the food chain. No creature can expel me from my desire, only my own faulty sense of entitlement can poison the land where it no longer serves my needs. Chernobyl, is not for me anymore, let other creatures suffer that experience. I want pristine beach front, and we both know that no creature can stand against the natural will of man's desire.

I am human, all other species kneel at my feet, I am the new natural order of life. I want, I take. I need, I take. Resist and I will exterminate, defend and I will eradicate, be useful and I will raise you for my meal. I will mourn for natures destruction, but only with one eye, the other is searching for my next desires target. I am man, I am the new natural order of life on earth.

again, I disagree with you. but I'll admit, I'm starting to feel like exerting my superiority on some nature, I am superior because I am human, other creatures are genetically altering life, they are just not able to keep up. Eliminating what is in my way is only part of the new natural order.
