"Hawaii once had a rat problem. The, somebody hit upon a brilliant solution. Import mongooses from India. Mongooses would kill the rats. It worked. Mongooses did kill the rats. Mongooses also killed chickens, young pigs, birds, cats, dogs, and small children. There have been reports of mongooses attacking motorbikes, power lawn mowers, golf carts, and James Michener. In Hawaii now, there are as many mongooses as there were once rats. Hawaii had traded its rat problem for a mongoose problem.... Society had a crime problem. It hired cops to attack crime. Now society has a cop problem."
