Welcome back home BZC, I will post again tomorrow as I am too tired tonight to get my mind in focus but I agree that it's not proven that animals are not conscious, in fact I think there's a book out by a scientist who gives many examples of all sorts of animals shown thinking and planning and doing somethink and of animals doing altruistic things even for animals of other species. Well that's it, my brain is saying No, get up and go to bed, I need my REM sleep, so nighty-nite! -- Eddie Pedantic Gasbag Discussion Group

In reply to: Teri 's message, "BZC! Lovely post! I am focusing on your last bit....the weird feelings....we discussed this before and I felt it, you felt it and DoBee felt it...it has eased for me...and DoBee confirmed the same for her! And now you!! It was a heavy weight that seems to have been lifted. I am a gut instinct person as well..that's why I'm crap at debate..I don't have facts to back up what I say..I just have my feelings. Hugs hunni! Glad to see you back." on 17:50:36 07/12/01 Thu

Teri, you mustn't say that you are crap at debate, you are very good, love to see your posts here, and maybe it's only you're not a pedantic gasbag type but when you post your voice rings with truth and no BS so please eat some beans and come back with some more gas!
