Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 A " higher plane " ?!?! Would you call polluting the entire planet and it's atmosphere with countless toxins, nearly wiping out the rain forests, building nuclear weapons capable of decimating the earth hundreds of times over, and inventing such immoral political systems as capitalism a higher plane? If ever a species deserves to labeled as inferior it would have to be homo sapien. Certainly there are humans trying to avoid / undo the damage humans have done to planet earth, but we are the minority to be sure. , The Stewarts <stews9@c...> wrote: > Pat's right, and any believe that any animal is " superior " to others is > ridiculous and based on subjective standards of comparison that don't hold > up in Nature. > > On Wednesday, January 14, 2004, at 03:02 PM, > wrote: > > > Message: 5 > > Wed, 14 Jan 2004 15:43:19 -0500 > > Sant & Brown <santbrown@l...> > > Re: Implications > > > >> My personal take on it (due to be Christian) is that while humankind > >> does operate on a higher plane than the rest of the animal world > > > > *lol* That's quite an assumption and certainly not based on current > > events ;=) > > > > Best, > > Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
