Like unto the carefree dreamy drift in amniotic
tranquility, the author floats serenely within an aura
of beatific cluelessness. If one could identify that
portion of the 'human' genome that is exclusive to
humans, it would be something (ballpark) like 0.1%.
So--HELLO!! Too late, pal!--'human' DNA is already
99.9% 'non-human'.
Ain't it just a cryin' shame how some people hafta
ruin--try to, anyway--the sublime experience of true
belief, with stuff so tawdry as ... ugh!...
reason,...ugh!...logic?
Best, Jeff Davis
