Hi All, Nothing like Christmas to bring out mental wandering. Sometimes I wonder if we are not a parasitic species and it is our role in the great scheme of things to alter the global landscape and environment to make way for a different species as yet undefined. Like a virus we may kill the host (by kill I mean make it useless to our species) but make it suitable for some other species. We haven't been here long but we have been effective at making changes. I suppose one could argue that, because we think we should expect something else but one could also argue that, because we think we are more effective at what we are doing. Maybe I am spending too staring out the window at the ocean.
