Many of us have enjoyed our domination enjoy all these species. In fact, we've created some aspects of religion to reassure us and convince us that we have reason to sully all these other species as we please. We held a virtual theocracy of the rape of the land that guarantees the acceptability, if not sacred, all our depredations.
her years ago, I thought we spread a thin cotton sheet on the continent and its history, before taking a step back and look at where the blood filtering through the fabric ... When I think of our alleged Indian Wars were in the strict sense of conquest and simple real estate transactions.
We consider this universe from inside and outwards, rather than vice versa. There can be no concept of authorized under ethnic or genetic, which inevitably becomes the main source of human butchery.
Xenophobia is simply a biological element of the human animal, which is struggling to overcome this handicap.
As the Sioux say, "courage, only the earth is eternal."
If we fail to understand the reality of life is an aggregate of perceptions and the nature of all species, we are doomed, and the land that we already assassinate.
