a state of worsening environmental trouble, and we're too stupid
and disorganised to even stop it from getting constantly worse?
When we still have wars over petty disagreements in which
millions are killed?Clever we are. Cunning we are, and sly, and ingenious.
But wise? No. No, no, no. Cows are probably wiser than us.
They just stand around and eat grass contentedly. They don't
kill each other, or cause environmental catastrophes, or toil
their lives away in miserable, pointless jobs till they've got
nothing else left. Cows just chew the cud, and don't let
themselves worry about things like stockmarket crashes and
exchange rates and microwave ovens. Humans wise indeed.____________________

None.
