On the subject of Animals

I was shocked yesterday while listening to a public radio channel on April 26th while I was driving home early... about 1pm. They were actually interviewing a guy who wrote a report for the government who actually said in not so many words... that we are on a road to destroy the world and that one of the issue IS that we don't classify ourselves as animals. He went on to note all of the ways we ARE animals and how our behaviors are the same as any animal which finds a new area to live in where they can be the dominate species. That species then goes on to over re-produce which in the end consumes all of the resources leading to the groups death / disbandment. After this he went on to detail how a number of civilizations fell in the past due to this type of behavior. Once finished he went over where current events vs the historic pattern and where we will end up and the event that will get us there... w/o any specific time line. More of an event line which he found to be repeated over time. In closing he didn't have an answer. He is spending his time trying to bring light to the issue. It's a BIG issue which needs to be addressed before we continue so far down the current path that we will end up like PAST civilizations... just another thing of the past.
