• Malaria…

    The screwfly…

    Parasitoids like wasps…

    Quasistable intermittent ecosystems resulting in frequent binges by predators resulting in massive die-offs of prey species and then famine resilting in massive die-offs of the predator species.

    These are parts of nature. No heros. No soldiers. Just mass suffering without purpose. In fact, we flockers and banders who will help a fellow out, right a turtle or rescue a cub are new to the game.

      I came to this conclusion after fighting in Iraq. No “loving” God would allow the level of suffering I saw. Even if there was war allowed, a compassionate being would make death easier to go through.
