no human has ever come close to the bond that i feel with my pets. i still haven't figured out why so many people value humans above their animal friends. not to be too harsh but, i've had a couple pets that were smarter than most people i've known. they just don't speak my same vocal language, so what? it has taught me a nearly infinite amount about body language, and other forms of nonverbal communication. deceit is almost completely foreign to them. they can be self centered but, they have no malice. this may be obscene to some but, i have felt loss more deeply with one pet, than i did when my grandmother passed. sorry, grandma, but it's true. i didn't know about your book, it looks amazing. i can barely talk to anyone about the problems we face as the aggregate ecosphere, without the same old global warming assumptions. people seem more afraid of CO2 than they are radiation, PCBs, dioxin, and other craziness. i am frankly astonished how few people will broach the subject of energy technologies called free energy or technologies with a greater than one coefficient of performance. thank you. i would be curious of your thoughts on gmos other than the increase of herbicide use. do you have evidence of damage caused by the genetic manipulation. i find genetic transfer between bt corn and microbes that make up the intestinal biome. that is all i can substantiate so far. there may be induced plasmid level mutation due to the antibiotic effect of glyphosate and the like. any thoughts would be welcome. i admit this post may not be the venue for this subject matter. please accept my apology. i rarely come across people who seem to be able to think. i believe i may have let my enthusiasm run away with me. thank you for your time.
