*"I call people creatures sometimes That may not Be a good sign"         -mikecccc* I can't help but wonder what the writer's trying to convey, And in my mind I picture one of the creatures who say; "We're much more like people than humans are anyway, As proven by Jean Baptiste Pierre Antoine de Monet, Inheritance played a part in changing human DNA, Which caused you to view every creature as prey, So next time you blurt out a line so passé Remember it's us you're insulting today." And with that the fair creature returned on it's way, Whilst the humans returned and lined up for their pay, Earned from the torn earth and the creatures they slay. I ask my fellow writer a question if I may; Was it your intent to insult creatures that day?

This one's obviously a bit tongue in cheek, but does also reflect what I think to a certain extent- i.e that human life is only regarded as being any more important than any other life because we're human. Which seems a bit racist when you think about it ...Or speiciest... Whatever.
