If
it were up to me, I would have allowed
the
dinosaurs to live and roam the Earth
to
this day. Where would we humans be
then,
you ask? Well I imagine, smaller
creatures
more nimble and quick, able to
crawl
under rocks when threatened. Like
field
mice, we’d be constantly on the look-
out
for dangerous predators around every
corner,
kind of like many inner city folks
behave
today. There would be a lot of scurry-
ing
around getting to where we wanted and
needed
to be. If you are wondering why I
chose
a mouse as a metaphor rather than
roaches
who live their lives much the same
way?
Mice cannot be trained to make war
on
their neighbors; armies of roaches tend
to
infest and overrun the place. Dinosaurs
could
crush insects with their massive
weight;
mice for them are way too small,
and
wouldn’t make a decent meal.
Mice
are apolitical and tend to get along
with
one another, men not so much. Damn
that Chicxulub
Asteroid, anyway!
