They just weren't as horny as us sapiens. Can you believe that?
Intelligence has nothing to do with survival. It's how horny we are.

Greatest Problem in The World Today
What we view nightly on televsion is superficial. In the realms of government, international confrontations, genocide and hunger, unstable financial

Originally posted by Grampy Bobbywhat does this have to do with my post? i claim that ignorance is not the main problem, apathy is. who cares about the ignorant in the world? they can be enlightened and most of them will probably won't have an impact anyway or allow themselves to be led like sheep by the most influential. the biggest problem is the ones who are already enlightened and choose to not do anything about it.
