I'm not suggesting that the dog represents anyone in particular--it's just to illustrate that we are often fooled into thinking that nature determines how things have to be. In fact animals tend to get along fine so long as all are well fed. Pit bulls can be very loving gentle creatures just like big strong men aren't always bullies. It's not nature versus nurture it's the fact that both are sides of the same thing. Nurturing is a natural phenomenon and so it is natural that properly nurtured things can express a set of traits that is very different but no less natural than a set of traits resulting from different nurturing. Another false dichotomy bites the dust, and, well, if you can watch these videos and not feel warm and fuzzy you were probably not properly nurtured in your childhood. :)

Remember the love--teach it, spread it, feel it, grow it like a garden. Remember that we fight for truth not out of hate or competition but out of a desire for peace and joy for all.
