The Romans had a tradition of honoring
vanquished competitors. The phrase they used was, victis honor.
Honor the vanquished.
The human juggernaut has vanquished, is
vanquishing and will vanquish a large percentage of the world's competing
organisms; as much as 2/3 of many categories of organisms. The indifference and
lack of concern by humans is dishearteningly apparent. We dislike this process
of species cleansing of the earth. We use this ancient Latin phrase to
demonstrate our unwillingness to accept quietly this evil process. You may use
these images and animations to convey this message to viewers of other websites
as well. If you have a modicum of courage, you might also mention the solution,
reduction of human numbers.
On the other hand you may be a member of the
complacent majority who are quite comfortable with insipid platitudes and the
status quo; one who either implicitly or insolently welcomes species
cleansing of the earth. In this case you can just relax, things are
definitely going your way. |
