---interesting discussion/reading. I am with those who live and let live "outside" and keep the creepy crawlers OUT of my house - as I wouldn't sleep at night knowing they were going to crawl over me or into my ears etc. I DO feel bad even when I squash a pill bug in my basement.... for me, the basic decision is: can I live with myself when I kill "anything" I am able to without going to jail (eg my neighbour)!!
I definitely feel I am bringing an end to the life of an insect, but have to weigh the pros and cons and my concience. For sure, everyone has an opinion - and no-one (no-one) knows whether it's right or wrong - until that day we all meet up in "another place" - where maybe all these "mysteries and miseries" of life will be explained.
I remember reading a long time ago that earth is "inhospitable" to humans and that bugs and disease are, basically, out to kill us (such as eboli): but don't remember who said it.... anyone know?
