Wait, so you're defining humanity based on being part of the food chain?  I hate to think of my humanity being summed up in my ability to be eaten by a grizzly bear.  Kinda' puts me on par with trout, ya know?

I don't know about you, I prefer to eat the bear myself rather than be eaten by it.

Yeah well, some days, you the bar and some days the bar eats you.

You wouldn't understand, it's not really an Eastern thing.   :laugh:

(Yes, that first post was totally a setup for this one)

...scarily I even know what you're referring to.
