Something Else to Ponder:
On Thanksgiving Day, I attended a "mini" family reunion. I met up with a cousin that I had not seen in many years; and it turns out that her son is attending Geogetown University as a graduate student in theology. After introducing me to him; I discovered that he definitely has the family trait for intense discussion. He posed the following query, which I admit still has me thinking long and hard:
If we accept that man (humans) are the dominant species of the animal kingdom; why is it that we are the only species that actively plan( and create tools for) our own extinction?
I thought this question might give our thought processes an excercise. He called me this morning and wanted to know how I felt. I'm still pondering over this myself-how do you feel?
