Random Thoughts VIII: The Ocho

[GTO]

I'd kill baby Hitler if I could go back in time too.

Well, if you had the knowledge he would become Hitler why not just go back a bit further and prevent his mom and dad from meeting? Either way, messing with the timeline could result in somebody even worse being born.

I'd throw both of his parents in a cage with gorillas.

Whether you want to pick good or bad examples...got any examples of an animal undertaking a conscious effort to drastically change the direction of the future of the entire planet?

OK, I'll cop to that, but this story to me highlights whether you value or don't value human life. To me, despite the fact that a lot of them bother me, each one has tremendous value due to the potential....at the risk of sounding like a blowhard TED talker: A human sperm and human egg came together to create Albert Einstein. A human sperm and human egg came together to create Ghandi. Any human being born at this instant has the possibility to cure cancer or end world hunger, or create some other change we can't even think of. Granted, the odds are tremendously skewed to say that any specific one likely will not, but you can't deny the possibility that each one has a certain potential to do so. Why? It's happened innumerable times. The number of human beings that drastically changed the course of our planet is huge. I would challenge anyone to do the same for an animal.

I'll bite my tongue on a response here because I think we're starting to get might close to straddling to edge of the forbidden topic, and I don't want to shut this place down.

I will say that, in the same breath, the person that could go on to fix are those problems, many of the problems humans created in the first place.

During a presidential election year? Debatable.

Nope, but I can give plenty of examples of animals not making the planet worse.

Not enough random topics in this thread. Losing interest. I may be forced to open another thread.

Way too much math for me to know what this one means.

Either way it gets messy under heat.

All three, including the private investigator.
