Ashley Montagu, respected British-American anthropologist (study of humans) may say it best.
I think of this quote often as I read these threads about the world around us trappers....

Humans are the only creatures who are able to behave irrationally in the name of reason.

Nailed it!
Grandpa often said some people don't have the sense God gave a dog.

Blessings,
Mark

Definitely agree with you on that one. The one thing i have noticed with animals is that there is no deceit -- intentions are clear -- not so of humans.

My Dad always said. "Don't have the brains God gave a goose."

Must have been a bunch of idiots running around, back then, albeit not as many as there are now. eek
