I know you already understand this. Stop being a dufus, or learn to be funny when you are.

First of all, humans are not at the top of the food chain. Those would be decomposers. I'm not exactly sure whether omnivores are second-level or third-level consumers, but we are not the top.
Second, what on earth did endangered species laws have to do with different strands of producers? I have never heard of an endangered wheats or rices or potatoes.
Zhukov, Marxians and Marxists are not the same thing, but you can think whatever you want.
