Carl,I agree re. our regression. Regarding our "true spirit", I do wonder. Hominids are a particularly nasty crew, I think. As with the other primates, we have some glitches along the lines of fighterly instincts. With our opposable thumbs we've learned to wield weapons ...Of course, there are those who would argue this adaptive, and it has allowed for great conquests, etc. However, it doesn't so much to foster the "Lion and the Lamb" thing. Our technology is outstripping our humanity, as MLK noted. |
