The Gods must really be crazy

Some scientists have put forth the idea that wild African animals could be relocated to open spaces in the United States in an effort to preserve them.

As George Will would say: Well.

The article details some inherent flaws in the idea. Don't look for this to happen anytime soon. But it did get me to thinking.

Today, environmental leftys in the American west happily side with predators such as coyotes and wolves against ranchers who lose cattle and sheep to the predators.

But, if America turned into the Serengeti, it would only take one case of little J. Timmy Smythe-Worthington III going out to the backyard to play and getting carried off by a lion before the left would have an abrupt change of heart and suddenly feel it would be ok to control predators.

It all depends on whose ox is being gored. Or eaten.

On the up side, if large swaths of America became the Serengeti, wouldn't that make everyone living there Bush People?
