       You leave me nothing else to believe. Animals most   
   certainly do change their behavior to a way which makes   
   it clearly appear that they are experiencing disappointment,   
   due to situations that could easily cause disappointment.   
   That much is absolute fact.   
       The question then arises--very stupidly and from stupid   
   people like yourself--if it is actually disappointment which   
   causes them to change their behavior to a way which   
   makes it appear that they are disappointed, or is it something   
   else that causes the change in their behavior? You stupidly   
   insist that it's not disappointment which causes the change   
   which appears to be disappointment, but some magical   
   projection from a human that causes the animals' change   
   in behavior. That sounds not only extremely stupid, but also   
   extremely ignorant, and exactly like some form of Voodoo.   
   _________________________________________________________   
   The Essence of  Voodoo   
      
   Within the voodoo society, there are no accidents. Practitioners   
   believe that nothing and no event has a life of its own. That is   
   why "vous deux", you two, you too.
