We Humans are warts on the face of our Mother, Earth. Some day she will find a powerful medicine and remove us, permanently, and the scar tissue will be merely a bad memory. Then again, we are just as likely to scrape ourselves off in a childish fit typical of our collective self-destructive mis-behavior. And someone's version of God will be laughing Her head off, wondering why it took this many wars and so much pollution to finish off such naughty offspring. And then, perhaps She will take a closer look at the beauty of the cockroach. |

Karilea, back at you with that reply. We need stronger seatbelts and more indestructible air bags. |

we, the cockroach, both, just visitors/captives to this material world, not really any difference, is there? |

Paladin, so good to have a visit with you. Actually, I can imagine Mother Earth without two leggeds. But I hope we learn some self-control and stick around 'till we are more grownup. |

Kacy, Me too, but I don't think that'll happen. Yes, wouldn't it be nice without the pollution of the soul, both individually and as a group. Sad, sad, sad.... Really think cockroaches would behave themselves and share and not pollute? Who cleans up their waste. Probably some dung-eating bug...Hmmmmmmm. Was there a plan? I adore your compassion and empathy and willingness to fight for what is right. As I said before, I don't get too involved as I don't have enough self-control, I'd have to slug some of these....oh, never mind....enough said. Hugs to you, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

If the roaches ever do take over, we'll all need our Balladeer. |

IF roaches take over...here in New Orleans? They already have.  and this is so true, we do deem ourselves pretty important, don't we? loved this... and oh. I was ready to spout off my list of wart remedies too, but I hear the one that works just dandy, is DUCT tape. Seems warts can't survive without oxygen. Looks like we are working on THAT remedy already, eh?  |

I tend to think of us as more of a virus of the vilest cruelest kind |
