Dodo Birds and Trees

Conservatives and radical fascists say that if 250 jobs are lost because Dodo bird hunting is banned, those jobs, like the death of a salesman, are lost forever and the hunters' families will immediately starve. They also say we must cut down every tree on earth or live in dirt pits. Enlightened progressives realize that we are infinitely resourceful and innovative and will find new ways to progress, despite needed change.
