Guest guest Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Frank, It's funny to hear you complain about the little buggers getting a free ride inside of us... Take a good look at yourself in the mirror and behold the most virulent parasite of all... this lovely planet is the living host and we are its dominant parasitic strain with an insatiable appetite to consume it all! I don't have to elaborate on this.... you know very well the destructive legacy of our insane specie's ascend to power!!! Maybe it is time for a planetary catharsis, perhaps those like minded spirits who see the interdependence of all life and live in accordance with that principle, might be spared the big flush... hopefully there will be enough of them to carry on! Remember that old Zen saying that: " The usefulness of a cup is in its emptiness " it brings to mind what you said about the extent of our knowledge: The usefulness of our piece of paper is in its " blankness " LOL Happy bleaching! Domingo P. S. I have a question for you: Where does the human body - your body - begin and end? Ah, the heady smell of the mixture of Zen, Life Systems, Religion, Philosophy, Ecology, Geopolitics and about a thousand other things, with parasites to boot. That is certainly a bit more to cover in one small email conversation than I am prepared to try and cover. I am not up to the task. Is anyone? I am afarid that my paper is too small as probably your is too. We must call an end.
