	I'll be right back.		I'll be right back.

	Since the beginning of life on this planet, thousands of species, plant and animal, have disappeared every century as part of the evolutionary process in an ever-changing world. We as humans share a feeling of guilt because as our numbers have increased, we've contributed to the disappearance of some species by destroying their habitat or hunting them down for food, fur and feathers, and sometimes our guilt makes us forget those thousands of species that simply cease to exist before man ever appeared in the primeval swamp.		Since the beginning of life on this planet, thousands of species, plant and animal, have disappeared every century as part of the evolutionary process in an ever-changing world.

			We as humans share a feeling of guilt because as our numbers have increased, we've contributed to the disappearance of some species by destroying their habitat or hunting them down for food, fur and feathers, and sometimes our guilt makes us forget those thousands of species that simply cease to exist before man ever appeared in the primeval swamp.

	Today we're trying to halt, as best we can, our contribution to or hastening of the disappearance of existing plant and animal life. We've identified endangered species and passed laws preventing any act by man which might reduce their numbers and I'm sure there's general agreement with this policy. But shouldn't we now and then remember nature's part in the elimination of some species and separate the serious from the silly in our own policy?

	Up in Maine, a mammoth hydroelectric generating facility was scheduled to be constructed in a part of America, the Northeast, where power is in short supply. The Dickey-Lincoln dam site was key to this $1.3 billion project on the St. John River. Many factors were taken into consideration and a great deal of study went into planning such an expensive project, as you can well imagine. Then, about a year ago, someone discovered a clump of wild flowers, about 200 in all, in the area to be flooded with the building of the dam. They were a species of snapdragon thought to be extinct called the Furbish Lousewart. The 1.3 billion Dickey-Lincoln generating facility is now halted, stopped dead in its tracks by the Endangered Species Act of 1973.

	I'm not a botanist but isn't it possible those plants could be transplanted? I've transplanted wildflowers on the ranch with little or no trouble at all. I've even gathered seeds and helped the spread of some types to other parts of the ranch. And can anyone really say there aren't other clumps of Furbish Lousewart hidden in the woods of Maine, as this clump was hidden, until humans invaded the area to build a dam?
