　110 Killing¹ is no solution  p.258

　　Two Australians， Mack and Jill， are camping on Kangaroo Island.

　　M： Look！ There's a koala hugging a tree. They're really so cute. Jill， why are you crying？

　　J： The government's planning on killing them because they may starve to death soon.

　　M： What a stupid idea！ They should try saving them instead.

　　J： I agree. Let's start a campaign to save them. If we can find 5，000 people to each take one home. The problem will be solved.

　　M： That's a good idea. You know， there're about 18 million people in Australia. Five thousand is only 0.027 percent of the population.

　　J： Let's do it then.

　　M： Killing as a solution to a problem is just not right.

　　J： You can say that again.
