I, personally, have no problem with the concept of personal
responsibility. We should all accept and be expected to accept
responsibility for the consequences of our own decisions, actions, and
failures to act.

Agreed!

If you dick-up an entire ecosystem, a $500 suspended fine from a
district court is NOT going to satisfy me.

Doubly agreed!

I actually think that a crime of that nature warrants jail time.

How will incarceration restore a disrupted ecosystem? A genuinely
RESPONSIBLE person would not have engaged in an activity which could
conceivably have resulted in damage beyond their ability to repair or
restore. Therefore, in the event that damage DID occur, I would expect that
a genuinely RESPONSIBLE person would be able to restore that ecosystem to
it's previous state. No other outcome is acceptable.
