I find the difference in viewpoint and reaction interesting, too. So too are the most common responses in this thread: problem indentification and problem solving. Among the problem solvers seem to be two main camps: a) this is a functional problem deserving of an engineering solution, and b) this is a safety problem deserving of either remediation or to be allowed to continue in order to not interfere with natural selection.
I bet these responses say as much about us as they say about the original subject.
