Guest guest Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 IF HUMANS DIDN’T EXIST If humans didn’t exist on this earth, and never did exist, wouldn’t it be a better, quieter, less polluted, cleaner place? There would still be the killer and the killed; the lion and antelope, and all the fishes devouring each other. The wolves who hunt and eat the deer. Viruses, bacteria, and all the microscopic creatures would still struggle to relentlessly to expand their populations and devour their victims. Snow storms would freeze some creatures. Floods, tidal waves and cyclones would kill many more, drowning and sweeping up multitudes of creature. Sandstorms, earthquakes and forest fires would kill many more. Accidental injury, sickness and infection would take their terrible toll on multitudes of small creatures. Flies, mosquitoes, frogs, and cockroaches will endlessly feast on the lives of each other. But no clinking and rattling of machines, no children working in coal mines, or in dark unhealthy factories to make a few rich. No children sold into prostitution, no women kidnapped into white slavery, no black slavery. The miles of smelly cars are gone, the radio waves and music radio stations are gone. The skies belong to the birds again and the owls swirl down on the field mice. It’s all over now or never began. The earth is cleaner, the waters purer. The oceans are free of plastic trash, medical waste and empty hypodermic cartridges. And there are no hydrogen bombs or bubonic plagues residing in test tubes in laboratories ready to kill millions, and no tanks guns or bullets. The red ants and termites still march, eating up the fields and attack the black ants. Life and death, both go on without us. Peace on earth. Good will…. L.

Epston 2006 > > OK Larry..I'm going to try and answer this question without my repulsive (to you) bullshit, Just an answer with my thinking OK. If humans did not exist...and never did exist..then there would be no " better " , " quieter " , " less polluted " or " cleaner " . IMHO these are just human considerations. Only humans JUDGE.Without mankind the world would not be a better place to live. There would just be living of a different sort and kind.This is the Peace that passath man's understanding.
