If you could kill all the mosquitoes in the...?

In response to If you could kill all the mosqutoes in the...? by bitter_angel:

If you could kill all the mosqutoes in the world in an instant, would you do it?

• Yes!
• No
• I'm Not Sure

46% of people say 'yes'. That.. worries me far more than you could possibly imagine. Didn't they study that 'circle of life' thing???

This question put me in mind of Charles R. Pellegrino's Dust. Terrifying prospect.

 Unfortunately, we as a society learned nothing from Silent Spring. Most still see basic components of our ecosystem as the enemy. And those who don't are instead bowing at the altar of scientific omniscience, the very false certainty that Rachel Carson indicted four decades ago.
