and yet we essentially live in the best of times.

Sad we can't find a political way for everyone to have enough of what we have.

We're still using instincts that were designed for the wild.

We're a perfect example of what happens when a predator species becomes overpopulated. They over indulge in a plentiful bounty not realizing they're killing out their food source.

That's why we hunt dear or kill wolves. A balance must exist or everything goes awry.

Humans destroyed this balance.
