Actually, humans wrote the book that gave them dominion, and they have abused that dominion since day one. Our rational thought has not kept us from polluting the air, land, and water, it hasn't kept us from waging insane wars that pollute and destroy, it hasn't kept us from making thousands of chemicals and releasing them into the ecosystems that supply us with food, air, and clean water. If I was you I wouldn't try to make too much of our supposedly "rational" thought. No dumb animals have polluted the water tables or set off atomic bombs, no animal invented napalm or nerve gas, no animals killed thousands in the Inquistition or burned a million women at the stake because of myth and superstitious fear fanned by misogynistic religious idiots.
Poor ol' Nums, you gotta go from the sublime to the ridiculous to try to make a point. The Great Auk wasn't a microorganism that caused human disease, neither were the Passenger Pigeons, or the Dodo birds, or any one of thousands of species driven into extinction by the dominion of man.
It's good that you brought this up though because you have posted that you believe that women should not have control over things inside their bodies, but here you are demanding the right to kill things inside YOUR body. I think you have the right to defend yourself against disease or attack by cougars, it's the wholesale slaughter of billions of animals for food, fun, profit, and sport to which I object. It's the rainforest destruction, the over-fishing of the oceans, the endless killing to feed mankind's sempiternal greed.
They can't be all that smart, they're still advocating against decent birth control, they're still bashing gays despite all the scientific evidence that homosexuality is a normal variation in humans and most animals. What was it the doughhead said? Oh yeah, condoms cause AIDS. Yep, a real genius there.
It's funny, Nums, do you ever notice that in almost every post you call me stupid, and yet I keep countering your arguments rationally and mostly politely despite the fact that you belong to a Church that has slaughtered millions of people in the name of Jesus in the last 2000 years. You belong to that church and you support it, but I'm stupid? Maybe you should let your wife post in your place.
