PLFXpert 0 #7 August 5, 2008 Semi-related: I'm a fan of Escape to Chimp Eden, and without fail I both laugh and cry every episode. Even with all things put into perspective (different cultures, governments, way-of-life, etc.) it's difficult to understand how people can do some of the things they do to these (or any) animals.

DougH 270 #8 August 5, 2008 I know what you mean. I find it difficult to believe what some people do to their own species, no less ones unlike their own. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CSpenceFLY 1 #11 August 5, 2008 I can't get excited about a find like this. We humans tend to fuck things up when we "find" them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLFXpert 0 #12 August 5, 2008 Shhhhh. That was my immediate second thought; the first was, "Yea!" I still have faith in "us", however cynical I can be. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm of the position no job--no matter how much you love it--does not become tiresome. It's the little (sometimes big?) rewards that become the wind in your sails. As far as I'm concerned, the only people who wake up every day excited to go to work and have a smile on their face all the time whilst doing so are crazy. I like to get crazy. Sadly, I always sober up. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
