Book recommendation [was Alaskan Wolf Hunt]

[Guest guest]

If you haven't already, I highly recommend reading Ishmael.

....Ishmael's paradigm of history is startlingly different from the one wired

into our cultural consciousness. For Ishmael, our agricultural revolution

was not a technological event but a moral one, a rebellion against an

ethical structure inherent in the community of life since its foundation

four billion years ago. Having escaped the restraints of this ethical

structure, humankind made itself a global tyrant, wielding deadly force over

all other species while lacking the wisdom to make its tyranny a beneficial

one or even a sustainable one...

hey, i actually just finished Ishmael for an Ethics

class. It was very, very interesting regarding a

human's role in the grand scheme of things (nature).

Really makes you think... once you get over the

bizarre idea of a mind-reading circus gorilla...
