COYOTE’S RANT

If there’s one thing

on which Tortoise

and Coyote see eye

to eye, it’s that homo

sapiens is the least

sapient of species

on this planet Earth.

"Sapiens, my hindquarters!"

gripes Coyote.  "Erectus

we survived. Remember

erectus?  Like other more

civilized species, erectus

killed only to eat.  This

sapiens kills not only

other species, he kills

even his own.  Sapiens

lacks even the animal

sense to live in harmony

with his territory, as we

do.  And he regards us

with disdain, as though

we were some kind

of lesser beings!  Sooner

or later," says Coyote,

"homo sapiens will be

the end of all of us."
