   Yet somehow one paragraph above you said, "Humans were not meant be   
   able to stand a distance away and kill buffalo with guns."   
      
   Look.  I know you're a fan of Biden but that's no reason to act like a   
   demented doddering old fool.

   More weasel words.   
      
   Here's a fact for you:  If it exists it is natural.  Because humans are   
   a part of nature, the end result of natural processes.  Who are you, in   
   your tiny bubble of the finite, to say otherwise?  The separation of   
   what humans create from what is "natural" is artificial and a   
   destruction of the tapestry of creation and nature.
