To Hunter:
My answer is simple. Humans are not bears or sharks. Bears and sharks etc have their own way of settling things; humans have another. It's a mistake to say that, just because animals act in certain ways, humans should, too. Look at the white and red blood cells in your body. White blood cells go about eating up germs and stuff. Do red blood cells do the same? No. Each party has a mode of behaviour appropriate to itself. White blood cells shouldn't act the way red blood cells do, and neither should red blood cells act the way white blood cells do. Likewise, humans shouldn't behave the way animals do, and animals shouldn't behave the way humans do, either. Animals can't really choose; humans can. Population control by killing off the weak may be the norm in the animal kingdom, but in the human world we can instead opt for the (IMO) rather more humane method of arriving at a common agreement not to have too many babies. My two cents. No obligation to take them if you don't want to, okay? [ 11-07-2002, 09:23 PM: Message edited by: K T Ong ]

And gee, aren't you jumping to conclusions about the number of times I've camped out in the wilderness, my dear Western friend? Good to know you've come to see the value of eye exercises, BTW. [ 11-07-2002, 10:45 PM: Message edited by: K T Ong ]

[/QUOTE] I believe it was in the 16th century that 1/4 of the entire worlds population bit it, do you recall that thread about the Black Death? There was another minor incident you might recall having heard about, the Ice Ages, there were acutally several and it did quite a number on the total population There have been other natural calamities but Im too tired to do research now If you don't just count mankind, there have been at least 3 well documentd global level extinctions before Man showed up, unless you are a strict creationist in which case the world is only 7,000 or so years old. Nature is not a kind mistress she is harsh cruel and unyielding, wether to man, or animal or plants. |
