The foolish human... I think that this label characterises our species much better than Homo sapiens: the wise human.
Trying to examine the morality of a situation, you'll get people who cannot grasp why the same person who opposes Biblically-recorded genocide can support the notion that genocide can be evil but necessary at times on a theoretical level, and try to pull a reductio ad Hitlerum out of their sorry arses.
Well, people, that's why I am growing to be a cynic: we literally conspire to the death of quadrillions (if not quintillions) of lives everyday... we just do not register this fact.
If we could in any way avoid having to kill in order to survive... would you still kill animal and plant matter to feed on it? Well, would you?
It may seem pedantic, but that's what we seem to deserve: human stupidity.

I agree. Homo bardus does seem to fit this species well. All we ever seem to do is make mistakes. It's stunning that we have achieved anything at all.
And to the last comment from 'anonymous', You my uneducated friend are the waste of life. Bio-trash to be more accurate.
