That comment just reminded me of a retouch on a famous UFO picture. In the original five people (I think) were watching a flying saucer on a clear day. In the spoofed retouch they were all looking at it and thumbing for a ride. I'd do that. :) The minimum standard of living for a world that survived to achieve space flight to another solar system has to be better than here. I'll bet that culture even has a great health care system. Just imagine being able to go to your family doctor to have yourself turned into a furry. Inheritable mental stability would be one of the benefits of doing it. :)

That's just from what we've seen of history so far, no matter how much we try to tell ourselves otherwise.

> All of that talk about furries and multi-species worlds got me thinking. If you really think about it humans won the evolution lottery big time. Of all of the creatures that could have evolved intelligence a creature got it that doesn't have either fur or a muzzle. That didn't have to be the case. Now consider that intelligent life has probably evolved on worlds throughout our galaxy. Are they going to look more like us or more like earth's other animals? I bet a quarter that if earth is ever invited to meet with representatives from a galaxy government (if one actually exists) that there will be grins on the faces of the furry fans and shock on the faces of everybody else. What if none of those representatives look like humans? Oh the disappointment! Imagine how people would feel if they had to face the simple fact that humans are not the model for all intelligent life in the universe. I'd love to see that so bad that I can taste it. :)
