I have a great recommendation for you! Take a look at this chart: http://www.handprint.com/LS/ANC/evol.html You'll that, starting from the bottom there were Australopitecus' running around until about 2 million years ago and then us Homos (heh, heh) came around. But the REAL trouble didn't start until about 200,000 years ago. That when Homo Sapiens showed up and slaughtered every other competitor; probably with fancy weapons. It's how we are. We are the survivors. Those humans that walk the Earth today are the direct desendants of some pretty ruthless sons-a-bitches. We like to compete and money and power drive our greed. Capitalism and sports allow us to safely continue to compete without killing each other. Although religion (and, recently, politics) drive another one of our weaknesses: group think ("us" and "them"). The bottom line is that is we create a political system that allows one person or group to grab power and then change the rules to keep it, they will. Look at the Republicans over the last 10 years. They are the most recent worst examples of it. They became everything they hated to gain power and now they're losing it - but only because we built that into our system. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:226558 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
