"Look, I’m sorry for you. I don’t know how, but somewhere along the line, you got the idea that your own species is no better than any other species—that’s against evolution!" Actually, that's directly in accordance with evolution. It's against the jaded religious ideology of human superiority that most people swallow wholeheartedly. I refuse to make that type of value judgement on life. We're all on an equal playing field; each species has its own strength: mine/ours is my/our intellect - I'm/we're physically inept, theirs is their physicality, they're intellectually inept (for the most part). My species is no 'better' or more valuable than any other. (Actually, we're quite detrimental to our environment. Does that play into your whole value judgement system?) We're all in the rat race together- we just happen to be winning. The fact that I was born into a dominant species doesn't give any more value to my life than to any other animal's.

'Fittest' doesn't necessarily imply 'best' or 'most valuable', bub. 'Best adapted to the environment', perhaps... And, btw; I am a lifeguard. :)

Human arrogance absolutely floors me.
