Red Green: [fishing out by the lake] If you take a look at evolution over the last million years, the one species that has survived without adapting is man. That's because as soon as he picked up rocks and sticks, he realized he could hit things. He started adapting nature to him. That's why men fly into hurricanes. That's why they built their homes on earthquake fault lines. That's why they turned rain forests into malls. That takes some kind of an ego. We don't just stand back and admire the glory of the universe; we figure we can improve it. It's not smart or correct, but it's one of the things that makes us what we are.
