Follow-up: What else besides an animal is becoming endangered?

Asked at Fisherman’s Wharf in Monterey.

RICHARD HANSEN | Graduate student | Monterey

A: The dodo, because it’s hopeless. It would be a good barometer to see if we’ve advanced at all in our wildlife preservation efforts.

Tea’d Off: The Tea Party. People are starting to get fed up with their obstructionism and that rhetoric.

SHAYNA BOWMAN | Photographer | Seaside

A: I’m sure that people would change their attitude and perception on life if they would see the T-rex gunning for them.

High Ground: Common sense or morals. You just don’t find many people who have those attributes.

MICHAEL JOHNSON | Chef | Monterey

A: Mermaids, because she sings sweet songs on the beach at night.

1984: Freedom. Just look at the news.
