interesting that when the creatures are big and humanlike, there is some
hesitation about killing. seems everyone draws the line somewhere. haven't
heard of much canabalism lately.
i got this crazy idea that if i kill less that i might be healthyer, happier,
and maybe even more spiritual. haven't gotten too far yet, but it looks, feels
like a worthwhile experiment sofar.

thanks for your honesty, it's refreshing. i still kill mosquitoes too, when
they get inside my house and an occasional centipeed. outside i leave them
alone. i still kill lots of plants also.
