What would happen to a chipmunk that was too stupid to eat a nut? It would die wouldn’t it? Likewise, if a shark was too dumb to keep swimming, it would surely perish. Indeed, if any animal upon this Earth lacked the necessary brain power to survive, Nature would eliminate it so it couldn’t breed and create more free range fools. Such mental defficiency, however, is rare within the animal kingdom, for Nature saw fit to equip her subjects with instincts. We humans were also granted this gift, but we seem to have traded in all of our instincts–all of our common sense–for cell phones and Internet porn.
