Regard the Monday articles, “Coyotes grow bolder” and “Mobile homes must move.”:
Those pesky coyotes. We keep developing their hunting grounds and they keep eating our pets. Whatever are we to do? I know! Let’s feed the now and future homeless mobile home owners to the coyotes, that way we can take care of two of the problems caused by land-hungry developers and money-hungry land owners at the same time!
Instead of asking the government (when will people learn that government is us?) to “do something” every time something gets out of hand, why not ask the people who caused it to do something? Instead of marching off to the bank with their baskets of dough, how about the developers be required to fund, not only reparations to people who are losing their homes, but reparations to coyotes, and all other wildlife, that are losing their homes. Instead of scraping the trees and Earth down to dry, bare bones in every single direction possible, why not be required to leave corridors for life that lives outside of banking, development and destruction of human existence?
Stand up and shout, people! You may be snug in your overbuilt development right now, but tomorrow they may decide it’s more profitable to build a skyscraper there! You may be an ostrich with your head in the sand now, but that will only make your rear end a whole lot easier to bite come time to scoot you out of your home.
