Damned if you do, damned if you don't
I woke up this morning, and thought..."Today will be a good day". I got to work, did everything I needed to get done before the holiday tomorrow, even the customers got an extra joke thrown into the mundane conversation today. I woke-up very happy, and am going to bed less happy. This will be my first and, hopefully, last serious post.
People wonder why I talk to my cats, it's because they listen so attentively, and don't take offence to every single word I say. If they don't like it, they wonder off and do their own thing. One could argue that they don't have the interlect to understand such complexities as conversation, but I've had many a chat where my cat has promptly answered back to me, so it stands true in my mind that they can understand, but just chose not to.
They also have incredible forgiveness, you stand on their tail, they sulk for a few minutes, or until it's dinner-time, and then are more than willing to give you a nudge or a paw as a token of friendship.
Maybe it's just me, but the human race have been given a power they do not deserve > intellect. What good has it brought us, but to think of ways to make money, exploit others, and cause pain. This is not a stab at the G8, to be honest, I've given up on feeling remorse and guilt for the less fortunate nations. Nature has its way of culling, and unfortunately, it is survival of the fittest. I don't see us donating to the zebras that died of hunger last summer due to droughts. We're all animals, right?
So...where does this rambling lead me to? People should start acting like animals, they're not so bad afterall, they've been around alot longer than we have. They may have something to teach us, like tolerence, and teamwork, and maybe even a working economy. Survival of the fittest remember!
I think people are the ones who need culling, not the elephants in Kruger for over-popluation, or the cows with BSE because they may infect one other. Funny 2 of the biggest problems in the human world, would be sorted out by culling in the animal world.
I'm sorry if I have offended anyone, I'm not trying to be the next Hitler, I'm just angry with the human mind and the complexcities of how we live our lives, when they could be so much simpler if we took some notes from the animal kingdom, hell, even the plant kingdom if we must (only if we REALLY must, please). It would save alot of pain and suffereing, not only in poorer nations, but in our everyday lives too.
Please, use your minds wisely, and take a step back in an unpleasant situation and think "What would an animal do?"

"People should start acting like animals"
I think that's the problem, people _are_ acting like animals.

Ah...but when last did an animal start a civil war? Animals have more structure in their communities than we do. People use the phrase "acting like animals" far too lightly!
