THE HUMAN SPECIES IN A NUTSHELL (June 24, 2012)
Whenever I go through my writings, which I do rarely and most often by mere chance, I am rather stunned by what I read. What range! What depth! And what treasure! Hidden treasure, too. Whence this outlandish outburst of mine, though? I just searched my writings on the World Wide Web. First I used “accounting” as the search word. And then I used “tit for tat” as the search phrase. Why? Together, they are the human species in a nutshell. As well as all the other species of primates, and especially our first cousins, the chimpanzees. What are six-million years, anyway? Scramble the accounting or spurn the tit-for-tat rule and you are utterly lost. As is the entire species. But enough. Margaritas ante porcos, as ever.
