Sometimes I think the only plan we have is to destroy ourselves. Sometimes it seems that way. Then, again, we see some marvelous advancements in our culture and think...well, perhaps, there is hope!

Well, Jack, I have had a "Banana Peel Theory" that explains "our" leaving the trees for many years. It has been scoffed at yet not disproved.

The banana peel theory states that the "we" carelessly discarded our banana peels, slipped on them and wound up earthbound....
