I agree with all of this, which is quite convenient as it does not impinge upon my point. <grin>

More Sweet Words: I think we humans just naturally have behaviors that allow us to live in a little group more or less peacefully. Extrapolating that to people outside "our group" takes work, but it's in harmony with our natures. There seems, to me, not to be a more barbarous, self-interested species than our own. (Do you do Zen?) GSM

<<You can teach an animal tricks, but only tricks that somehow are congruent with their natural instincts. >> That depends, on what I don't know. You should put me on ignore for this one. Our long gone Chessie, Bud, came from real bird hunting stock. Duck and pheasant hunter in the 1st class. But we would find him swimming with mama duck and her babies in the wide part of our ditch. Like old friends. He had a way of knowing when to retrieve and when not to. Dog Kate brought home a wood duck, a baby not injured, and she is a pure killer. Dogs seem to have some thought, well some dogs. Cats and horses are another story.
