Nope. Not created, just evolved. "Underlying" implies a 'born-with'. I am a  
believer in tribal memory, but only as far as survival and procreation are  
concerned. I have a haphazard, somewhat scattered pile of firewood from last  
winter that I'm getting ready to 'organize', and I will be speaking to each 
and  
every piece as I stack it up. It's a matter of respect. 
 
My daughter worked, a couple of years ago, for the school district in  
Yakima, WA. She was amazed , initially, that the school didn't celebrate  
Columbus 
Day. It was a day of sadness for the tribe. Instant epiphany! Now she's  got 
it.
 
We are part of the planet, and merely at the top of the food chain. If we  
happened to end up with 'superior' thought processes, I see that as an  
obligation to our 'inferiors' to do a kind of 'noblesse oblige' thing, and 
now  we 
venture into the arena of ethics and philosophy.
 
Your thoughts on this take on the thread?
