      The problem with people is that the Majority of them can't handle the fact that God would have an alternate world (from that of living in the Garden of Eden) where animals are culled by killer animals.
    People, cannot handle that simple fact, not that I'm saying I'm convinced that God created the killer animals, I can't do that, and in a way I'm awfully sure that God did not.

    However, God, didn't have a problem with killing machines in the form of animals. He had his two worlds. And, as noted Biblically, it clearly doesn't mean people, who are 'living' beings, insane, really nuts or otherwise should adapt the way of the killer, but the sad sad idiotic fact is they did and do.
    I, as ordained minister of the God represented by Augustana Lutheranism, am witnessing for all of you that this is a world where too many people are sick with mental illness and spiritual confusion, and that THEY ... CHOSE ... to join in on the nasty alternate world.
    And in turn, in their idiotic innocent or mean-spirited, attack and mutilate our planet, our children, and all people around them at every moment possible while, as I said, in their illness and confusion.
    Our laws should be human life oriented, as God has suggested we best heed, and not the present state of 'dealing' with the atrocities by taking part in the very life that GOD DID NOT INTEND FOR US TO LIVE IN.
    Q & A:
    Part Two:
    There are those of You, who have made the choice, and a judgment results because of your sins, which is that you are also guilty of participating in the greatest lie of the Universe, that of murder, greed, avarice, and all social human ills (including the most grotesque).

     Some one asked me about fate, today.
    What? I said ... increduously, as the impact of realizing person was right ... people who worship God as a crippled entity who is hopelessly lost in alternatives to providing a better way to eternal peace for meat eaters ... and for the ilk who roam more freely in their world.......believe in the sickness.

    But, no I countered. Illness invades the body, and no one worships illness... for example. So no, they are not fatalists, they are confused.

In the summer of 1960, I first arrived on the shore of Lake Tanganyika in East Africa to study the area's chimpanzee population.

At the time, it was unheard of for a woman to venture into the wilds of the African forest, it was a trip that I had dreamt about as a little girl.

At first, the chimps fled whenever they saw me. But I persisted, watching from a distance with binoculars, and gradually the chimps allowed me closer. One day in October 1960 I saw chimps David Graybeard and Goliath strip leaves off twigs to fashion tools for fishing termites from a nest. At the time, scientists thought humans were the only species to make tools, but here was evidence to the contrary. When I told my mentor Louis Leakey, he said: "Now we must redefine tool, redefine man, or accept chimpanzees as humans."

After studying the chimps for many years, I began to realize that their habitat and very way of life was in danger. In 1977, I founded the Jane Goodall Institute to work with the people who live around Gombe to conserve the forest.

From there I founded the Roots & Shoots program in 1991, which has truly become my passion.

Roots creep underground everywhere and make a firm foundation. Shoots seem very weak but to reach the light they can break through brick walls. Imagine that the brick walls are all the problems we have inflicted on our planet. Hundreds and thousands of roots and shoots, hundreds and thousands of young people around the world, can break through these walls. You can change the world.
