    Dogs.

    Does it get any better than them?

    It's like the Jungle Book, or the whole Romulos and Remus thing. Well except wolves probably aren't as likely to save a child as a dog, but...

    Hey, by the way Beirut.... I spoke to a couple of people in the Salt Lake City DA's office (I know a guy) and about this weekend.... fuhgedda bout it.

    To the topic: I know dogs are more civilized then we are. Mine are the only reason I am civilized. They spare all of you folks 'ranting raving maniac guy'. Well, they try to.

    There's a few cases of this. It really messes up the humanity of the child though.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?
