Cheers chris, never heard that... although it seems like something that should've been taught at school!

I appreciate what the text is about and can easily relate it to what we're all doing to the world. We strive to live as well as we can work out how, but have too little view on the long term.

Whilst that talks of the evolution of society being self-destructive, and I agree almost entirely that it is, it still don't change my stance on the food chain! The food chain I believe would be naturally self sufficient if it weren't for the likes of sport, entertainment or so-called research - things we do to improve our lifestyle like they did on Easter Island.

To say we can't kill a certain species to sustain our own survival is just not right - And I'm talking about survival, not improving lifestyle. In my view, a whale has just the same right to life as a chicken, no matter why the chicken was born.
