As a species, we have done many things to improve our lot in life. In agriculture, we have reshaped vegetation to provide us with more nutritious foods. In construction, we have projects that provide more water (dams); more housing options (cities), and better travel (highways), etc. We are proud of our accomplishments. We are unique! But every animal species, except humans, seldom kill one another for emotional or prejudicial reasons. We like to think of ourselves as the most intelligent species on the planet. Talk about hubris. We are indeed unique! ~ Steven C. Pomelow, Gorham
