Well,the EPA has done its job. In the last 15 years in the US,only one species has become extinct.But I believe it is time for the EPA to change its guidelines, and,to whit, I propose the following changes:

• Anything that is an insect or arachnid doesn't get to be on the endangered list
• Anything that is a rodent doesn't get to be on the endangered list
• For the purposes of these guidelines, pigeons are categorized as insects
• For the purposes of these guidelines, deer are categorized as rodents
• If it tastes like chicken it doesn't get to be on the endangered list
• If it is a subspecies named after a geographical area smaller than New York's Central Park, it doesn't get to be on the endangered list
• If its habitat includes an area obstructing the new garage,shed, swimming pool or gokart track I'm wanting to construct,it doesn't get to be on the endangered list

This is just a start.I'm hoping the federal government acts quickly and endorses these guidelines.
