Invasive Speciectomy
In order to preserve the fragile environment and maintain the economic affluence held over most feeble minded nations, I propose government initiative be taken toward the systematic removal of invasive, domesticated animals through psychological reclassification. Invasive species shown to be burdensome, should be labeled and in turn viewed as "pests". I believe our society would benefit from the efficient model of our counterparts, the Chinese, as have our Samoan countrymen, in relegating such animals to the realm of packaged food and barbecue.
This could be accomplished rather simply. As a society we must form a body of legislation that rewards the aggressive removal of such species. The removal of these species could be conducted by civilian or professional species-removal teams. These teams will then report with their subdued or dead invasive-species to licensed facilities (e.g. sausage factories or fertilizer plants) which could then properly, and humanely, dispose of these "pests". The resulting revenue stream will naturally foster scientific research pertaining to more efficient removal systems and fund grants for the preservation of noninvasive species (i.e. dolphins), interbreeding of invasive species for military purposes (e.g. Kudzu & Poison Ivy), or other democratically agreed upon movements. The flesh itself will be provided primarily to those disadvantaged citizens prescribing to the food stamps program.
Some common invasive mammal and bird species that currently run rampant in the United States are listed below. The nature of these species should be considered in mobilizing forces for their removal.
- Equus ferus (Wild Horse)
- Columba livia (Rock pigeon)
- Cygnus olor (Mute swan)
- Felis catus (Domestic cat)
- Myocastor coypus (Coypu, nutria)
- Passer domesticus (House sparrow)
- Sturnus vulgaris (European starling)
- Sus scrofa (Wild boar)

Western Males Vulnerable in Next Phase of Human Evolution?
I am curious. In considering our current and past evolution, there is one aspect in the origin of dominant species that has tickled my curiosity— that of sexual cannibalism. The most glorified, dominant, and perfected species of any given class, infraclass, or superorder partake in this evolutionary behavior. For example the order of Dictyoptera, which is commonly associated with cockroaches, has the Praying Mantis, which is a sexual cannibalist.
The Black Widow, of the order of Aranea, also enjoys the slaughter of her mate. In this example, as well as many others, it should be noted the male is without exception the victim and is grossly smaller in mass than the female. In comparing this phenomenon with recent changes in modern American women; the observation is striking.
