Madam,

With due respect, allow me to voice my fallacious thoughts in response
since “analogy” in the Greek original means “against the logic.”

Horses [ancestors of *equus*], according to abundant fossil records, ran
amuck for millions of years in North America—-only to be wiped out by
climate change and hunting around BC 8,000
(http://www.pbs.org/wildhorses/wh_origin/wh_origin.html).

Hence, eliminating the cumbersome need to find any graffiti in a
prehistoric cave.  Now that we see growing feral population of horses in
wild, can you argue that these are the *native* horses, having nothing to
do with the conquistadores?

My tax money, IMHO, should not pay for the DNA analysis of the so-
called “Native Bees,” for the buggers seem to favor living in only one
particular state of the union. (If indeed there had been native bees, why
are they only in your state?  Oklahoma should have a few because we are
the buckle of the Bible Belt!)

(My bees are wolfing down a gallon a week lately.)

Humdinger,
