"This is because many birds that have evolved on isolated islands with no predators have become what biologists term "ecologically naive" -- meaning they do not recognise danger from other animals. "

liberals display this same phenomenon with respect to criminals and muslims.

I will chose "ecologically naive" which may actually describe Europe after 50 years of peace.

BTW I think this is very perceptive.

LOL! "You know, maybe if we just REASON with the terrorists...they might come around to our way of thinking. I think that we need to explore just *why* they want to blow us up. It's probably George Bush's fault."
