If it looks like a duck......

I believe it was Einstein who observed that, "To understand anything, look deep into nature", or something to that effect. I did, and so as usual came back with some questions. (My quest is finding good questions, for surely one good questions is worth a ton of bad provided answers).

On this particular foray into pondering, this is what came to mind; Are the abundant herds of herbivores, such as Wildebeest and antelope, a clue to how nature has set up the world to operate? These vast herds of "protein on the hoof" sustain an entire ecology ranging from the higher carnivores such as the great cats, to the middle class scroungers such as the dogs and birds down through the breadcrumb clean-up crew of insects and microbes.

My idle thinking began to wonder about the carnivores that live and thrive around the edges of humanity. Not the kind that devour us, but the kind that find economic sustenance through distasteful means such as war, conflict, theft, trickery and worse. Or how about those that feed from our bright spiritual energy, sucking us dry and leaving black holes of negativity behind?

The strangely different factions or fringes of humanity.

With such contrast between the seemingly same specie, are we indeed all the same specie?

Physically, it sure seems so.

If this mix of folk seems to maintain an almost fixed ratio of type, regardless of large herd desired standards and desires, is it possible that "looking the same" is only one dimension to be considered when "typing" humanity? Could it be that to defeat the "intelligence" of the masses, it was necessary for the spiritually defunct "type" to evolve in the skin of the sheep?

Bizarre questions I know, but these can be the best kind. If they are silly questions, blame Einstein, I do! *VBS*

Any thoughts?
