It's a ridiculous "King-of-the-Hill" system intended to move the wealth and
resources of a nation from the many to the few.
Not only does it exploit nature and animal-life, natural resources -- it also
exploits humans according to various myths of inferiority.
As we're killing other species, we are also killing ourselves and the planet.
We are part of nature.
It is suicidal to presume that because we have the power to do something that we have
the right to do it!
"Americans are really smart about really stupid things" --
That was the observation of a woman from the Bikini Islands after we had nuked her
homeland in testing nuclear weapons.
