I view this as a harsh and unfair statement, which surprises me, as I
usually agree with robo's posts.&nbsp; Humans, animals, earth, we are all
one......mental, physical, spiritual.....comprised of the same organic
compounds, all connected, etc.......cancer is an aberration, DNA gone
wild.&nbsp; So while some humans may be compared to "cancer cells"&nbsp; (I'm not
naming names), this is a sweeping generalization and unworthy of robo's
usually intelligent posts.<br>

                <div><font face="Comic Sans MS">Wheeeeew writes:&nbsp;</font>Actually,
I was thinking the same thing about people.&nbsp; If you spread them out in
their natural habitat, instead of stacking them all on top of each
other in the non-sustainable, over-populated, heavily polluted cities,
I doubt there'd be enough "natural habitat" to sustain us.&nbsp; So who
wants to volunteer to go first???&nbsp; Sorry folks, there's just too many
of us.&nbsp; Open season.......!!!!!</div>

starting with Trail Pirates.&nbsp; I know a lot of hikers who would do that,
but I figure you are my pal and would not.&nbsp; Say, I heard one time that
there are more deer, bears, and trees in the continental US than there
were when the colonist came over here from the old world.&nbsp;</div>
                <div>&nbsp;</div>
                <div>I think I could buy the first two, but I don't
know about trees.&nbsp; I think this might be true in the Sierras, since we
control fires and trees have taken over so many of the old open
areas/meadows.&nbsp; When they compare current pictures of different areas
to the pictures of 100 years ago, trees are like weeds.&nbsp; I noticed this
too in AZ going up for the 12,633 foot Mt. Humphrey expedition.&nbsp;
Driving up to the parking lot, I noticed how the trees looked like
weeds growing near the road.&nbsp; Sad how we screw things up for our human
standards instead of Mother Nature's.<br>
