This is for you, sweetheart. I was watching a program on insects, and they were talking about what a long, difficult, dangerous process it is for a butterfly to emerge. At every stage of the game, particularly that at which the butterfly finally emerges from the safety of it's coccoon, it's dangerous because you're prey for everything in sight. But in every metamorphosis in nature, the end result is more beautiful and more amazing than the beginning creature could have ever dream of being on its own. Are we as humans truly more enlightened than other creatures are? In many senses, perhaps, just as I'm sure there are probably moments when cows really DID wish they had thumbs; it means they have to find a Chimp or Raccoon if the phone rings. But be that as it may, the same rules apply to our metamorphosis to a better state of humanity; it ain't easy, and it takes a *hell* of a lot of work and sacrifice, but the end result is worth it, trust me. You can be the butterfly, and you will be. Same goes for me. In the meantime, don't let a cow use your cellphone.
