A lady got mauled by her neighbor's pet chimp. The chimp tore off the poor lady's face. Most people are seeing this as an example of why chimps shouldn't be kept as pets. I am noticing that the animals we look down apon desevere more respect than they get.

I've often heard detractors of the theory of evolution say stuff like. "I didn't come from no god damn monkey!" as if it's an insult to desendant from a great ape. I feel that even in our highly evolve state we should feel no supiority to the ape, because there has been a major trade off.

The frailty of the woman and massive power of the chimp is a testament to physical stenghth we reliquished to gain the brain power to ponder the abstract. And sure a man aserted his power by pulling a gun and shooting that rampaging mistreated animal, but we musent forget that he didn't build that gun and in a way everyone of the 2000 people in the gun manufacturing plant collaborated in excecution of that chimp. Those factory workers were helped by the Chinese that invented gun powder and the African's that invented iron.

We must one day realize that life is hard and that everyone of us sturdy enough to survive deserves the life we possess.

My heart goes out to Charla Nash. The woman's fortitude is immeasurable.
