Karen: can you believe it they poked these poor mice
with injection needles who knows how many times - and
are then surprised that these tortured mice don't
perform...why didn't they simply feed them with THC
enhanced food?
lets take a moment to consi¬der the monkey & the
scientist. The monkey is in a cage in a laboratory &
the scientist who really doesn't intend the monkey any
personal harm feels justified in his actions for the
good of life in gene¬ral & science in the
particu¬lar. What does the monkey feel?
Unfortu¬na¬tely preci¬ous few would ever ponder this
chal¬lenge to morali¬ty. On the other hand the
scientist who does not in any way consider himself to
be mean, cruel or sadistic continues to inject the
monkey with an array of chemicals & foreign substances
& subjecting him to a myriad of other profain
experiments both physical & often far worse,
psychological. This "well meaning" scientist next
observes the subsequent reactions & then tragically
enough runs even more experiments on the reactions of
his first! And for the monkey, shocks, tumors,
cancers, nervous disorders, vile migranes, blindness
& general overall sickness & of course the never
ending aches & pains to say nothing of the fear &
confusion and inevitably & ultimately death & a
welcome one at that for the poor monkey. Human
justification: That this ever so "conscientious"
scientist is seeking cures for his own & other species
such as cows, sheep, chickens & a whole host of others
which man conveniently uses & consumes for the
continual futherance of his own well being & comfort.
The audacity of "hygenically" breeding pigs so as to
use their organs for transplants in humans is sin in
it's best dress! That these immoral experiments
"auspiciously" done in the name of "honest science"
indemnify any & all taking part from any wrong doing
is inhumane & vile! But the pathetic monkey doesn't
give a damn. It certainly does not wish to go thru
this personal hell & has absou¬ely no idea why he is
there in that cage in the laboratory rather than in
the trees where he knows he belongs. These most
unfortunate, gentle & helpless creatures, also "gods
children" if you will, have, to be sure, had their
rights most severly violated to say the least. That
other creatures have rights is a concept which most
humans just can't seem to come to grips with though
they certainly are aware of the concept of violated
rights! To know that they are all you have to do is
bear witness to what crybabys they themselves in fact
are should they feel that their precious rights have
in any way been trampled upon however they don't
extend this priviledge or courtesy to other forms of
life. It's as though only humans are deserving of
compassion, an immoral rule they themselves have
conveniently concocted. These monkeys & other helpless
creatures have been subjected to irresponsible
experiments drafted up by those with no personal stake
in their outcome & with absolutely no possibility of
loss only that of gain & thats hardly a fair scenario.
It's not at all unlike the politicians, generals &
munitions manufacturers starting wars & never seeing
battle. I grant you this, if they did there would be
no wars! Just another unfair, though "justified &
rationalized" arrangement between man & all else
existing on the planet. The end justifies the means. A
venal & mercenary condition which once again infers
that any action is pardonable so long as the results
are profitable. It would surely be a cardinal sin &
folly to use 20th century man as a gage of high
standard & quality, a benchmark against which all else
was measured to determine its standing & thereby worth
& status. Why not ask for human volunteers for these
experiments done for "the benefit of all living
things". I'm utterly positive that there would be more
than enough humans who would readily step forward &
"sign up" for these experiments. First you'd have
those purely mercenary types who are always prepared
to do anything for money then you would have those
masochistic martyrs in it for the attention it would
beget regardless of the personal price they might have
to pay. Lastly I do believe there would be a
miniscule few who actually felt they would be doing
something worthwhile. The point being that it is
sacrilegious to force these immoral experi¬ments upon
other animals who have no say in the matter & no
possibility of gain when there exist humans very
ready & willing to volunteer. Of course the animals
don't have to be paid, now do they, where as a human
might. As far as I'm concerned the monkey has every
right to hate the scientist & consider him his worst
enemy! I'm also quite sure that the monkey doesn't
tell his children in the adjoining cage to have faith
& that the "hand of the scientist" works in strange &
mysterious ways for a grand purpose be that purpose
presently unknown & totally unfathomable to them &
that their suffering has meaning & purpose & it is
not for them to complain or question why but rather
"simply" to grin & bear it & that without fail they
must ceaselessly pray, "obey" the scientist & that in
the end they will go to a paradise, monkey heaven &
forever after live in peace, love & harmony with
their father the scientist who loves them, amen! No!
I'm totally convinced that this the monkey does not
advise his children to do. Well then, lets say that
for the sake of argument or a birds eye view we change
the scenario a bit & that in the role of the scientist
we insert god & in the role of the monkey we insert
mankind & the script remains the same only the
players change. Now we must also suppose that, just
as the scientist, " this so called god" means us no
personal harm. In the meantime, not unlike the monkey,
we suffer as god runs "its" experiments for what we
never knew. The monkey has one up on us in that it
has had "a revelation", it has seen the scientist, we
on the other hand have never seen this so called
"god," the uncreated creator. What we have seen though
is other flesh & blood human beings just like
ourselves, (religion junkies) most often for self
serving reasons, telling us about "our god" & how we
should conduct ourselves. In the quest for the truth
all views must be aired & soon in this bombast you
will hear the devils version of the whys & whatfors.
And none dare Call it treason! chao/Silk
