You would think this might be a more worthwhile project for MSNBC to concern itself with.

I do not want to be politically incorrect or whatever, but if you seriously think about it, the mainland Chinese and others are a major causative factor in the VERY possible extinction of elephants, tigers, bears, walruses and probably some other species because of their insatiable quest for ivory, and for animal parts for "medicinal" and/or erotic purposes. One might surmise that given enough time, once the tigers and bears are all gone, there will be one hell of alot of impotent Chinese (orientals?) running around.
Extinction is forever.
