Edgar, All,
There's a good poem about this by Issa, all, I've quoted here before:
The Baby Sparrows
The Baby Sparrows;
if you're nice to them,
they'll poop on you.
--Issa
(a good Haiku, in the original)
And in the Tao Teh Ching, you'll see that the author Lao Tsu writes:
"Nature treats Humanity like straw-dogs." (stanza 5)
--Joe
