None of this evolution, Hubey, it is simply change, and it remains to see
where it goes over any span of time with evolutionary significance. You
really got the hots for the human species, right? Providing its in the
right political system, right?

Aw, shucks, Hubey, I was hoping you would read something, not necessarily
mine, but something...>

Oh, I know a fair amount about my ignorance, Hubey, but its yours that
I'm questioning. You've got the Scalae Natura so rattling in your brain
you can't even begin to understand the dynamism of interactions during
biological evolution of the plant and animal worlds, without pissing in
the wind.

I didn't fly in from nowhere, Hubey, I've been reading your crapo
pseudoscience all along, and no, you haven't stepped on my toes, because
thank Christ you haven't read or understood anything I've ever said.
But I am glad to hear that you growing more and more tired of this every
day.We do have a lot in common on that score. Now, at some point, instead
of trying to snow us with your sarcasm and grandiose self-esteem, why not
post something useful for a change, instead of a mishmash of very old
ideas about intelligence and evolution?
Caio,
