Platt, Pack it in you imbecile. Where did Arlo ever say "Lower and higher forms of life are equal." ?
Balance implies stasis TO YOU, but not in any of the arguments used by anyone here. And, it still means stasis to you, even when the person you asked explained their dynamic view of it. YOU ARE IGNORANT by definition, and in a very long-lived static kind of way too. What is the point of anyone responding to you ? That was fun (not). Ian PS having already questioned Arlo and others for even bothering to debate with you, normal service will be resumed, after half a day's aberration.
