Forgive me for being so vehement. I'm sorry if I offended anyone.

Gwaihir, I see your point about looking at it from both perspectives. I agree that the human race has made leaps and bounds from where we were in the beginning, to where we are now. I will not deny that many of those developments were good, and kept us alive when we would have died, otherwise. The thing that troubles me, is that many of us keep only that in our minds, and forget that we are part of "the big picture." The world isn't about just us, we have to take Mother Nature and our planet into account.

Humans have this quality that makes them pursue their goals with only that goal in mind, at the cost of everything else around them. Now that does come in handy at times, but I feel that it does more bad than good. What say you?
