By that argument I cannot have an opinion about the human species -- there
is no other civilization to compare us to! Fortunately for the thousands
who, like me, enjoy thinkink about the human race as a whole, that line of
reasoning is incorrect. Of course I can compare it to what my ideal fantasy
of humankind would be. If you don't like it, no problem, you will have no
opinion about humankind -- and that will save a lot of worries.

I'm sorry I didn't get your joke, make one in Portuguese and I promise I'll
laugh at it.
