    1.18 +<P>
    1.19 +I chopped up this Flash animation as part of a school project whose
    1.20 +thesis was that, simply, and taking my cue from Ernie Cline,
    1.21 +<I>people are just a bunch of monkeys</I>. And a bunch of fucked up monkeys at
    1.22 +that: we think we amount to something more than monkeys, but we do not have
    1.23 +anything that is uniquely human in its essence. Some of the things we
    1.24 +might consider as human distinctions are language and technology, but
    1.25 +animals have them as well--only on a lesser scale. If we really wanted to
    1.26 +separate ourselves through the sheer degree of which we have these
    1.27 +certain skills (and not just "either we have it or we don't"), we might as
    1.28 +well consider our unbelievable ability to wage war. Animals kill each
    1.29 +other all the time, but only the human monkey can achieve routine
    1.30 +genocide.
    1.31 +</P>
    1.32 +<P>
    1.33 +But whether war is right or wrong is not my point. My point is that
    1.34 +war is simply an extension of what the rest of the animal world do:
    1.35 +kill each other. We are no more than monkeys in our core. In
    1.36 +whatever we do, we still act like monkeys, because that's what we are
    1.37 +made out of.
    1.38 +</P>
    1.39 +<P>
    1.40 +I try to expand on this thought on an
    1.41 +<A HREF="cline.pdf">essay that accompanies this project</A>.
    1.42 +Stress that again: <I>I try</I>. =D
