Anna,
Nice insights. Many prefer to see nature as a perfect pristine balance. Look closer and you see parasitism, cannibalism, competition and destruction. Look again and you see the cycle of creation and evolution. Many different ways to see stuff. BUT. I say a tree falls in the woods even if there's no one there to hear it, and we are not as destined to overpopulation as less intelligent successful species. Just had to find some contention didn't I? :-) -Mark _____ A law means only this: "what is not explicitly forbidden is allowed." If you talk about biological laws, then I should remind you that humans are social animals and as such have herd mentality. It is rare that any animal lives solo, not forming a group. A herd mentality will always seek a leader, a shepherd to guide the sheep. Man never ever lived outside any social order or without a leader. A leader in the past was a shaman, or other Wiseman. Unfortunately, it leads to abuse and corruption. . The natural law can be cruel. Only strong or intelligent can survive. When you have two trees growing too close to each other, one will kill the other by sapping all resources to itself. The same goes for stars which will devour each other if too close. Thinking of this, think of human overpopulation.... There has never been a time in human history where man would not be a part of a social group and had no leader. The only right a man has is a right to live and a right die on his own. You can derive all liberties from this basic right. Nothing exists independently of consciousness as there is nobody to observe anything. Anna _____ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
