Actually, the day I decided to start this. Perhaps everyone should talk to a pigeon every so often. Anyway I decided that Pigeons are much like many people, except for two things, they are better looking, and they have adapted to the world we have created, where we adapt the world. The pigeon listened intently, since I had waved some sandwich in front of it, well it looked like it was anyway. Is that not what a lot of people do each day? Their behavior as well, they are interested in only three things: Eating, making more pigeons, and staying alive long enough to do more of both. Again a lot of people do the same, particulary evident on Friday and Saturday nights, when the addition of alcohol increases a persons primality*.
Another thing that I find amusing is how the pigeons recover when they are culled. Pigeons breed as long as there is enough food, by culling them, theres more food per pigeon, so they breed faster. So the cull works for a short time but blink and theres just as many pigeons, but with more intact limbs than the ones before. Humans too do this to an extent. We have (in the affluent parts of the world) no problem with food, so we populate and spread. Bird/Swine/whatever flu is just part of nature. When a species over populates, something brings them back in line. Although humans now have the technology to go beyond natures course and stop her cull, and so the food will eventually run short.
Perhaps its all a big plan, and in actual fact, the pigeons are culling us.
*If that wasn't a word, I just made it so.
I find that if you wave a sandwich in front of me (depending on what it is), you will have my attention too ... maybe we are descended from them. Go figure.
