The human race is a living breathing mechanism, it has to be or we would be extinct. During the course of humans surviving on the planet, a lot of things, some not good, were done for the overall progress of the civilization. As humans evolve, so does the world. You would hope that we are constantly in touch with our basic self. Always remembering that we're just humans. We don't have powers. We're not any better then the people that came before us. Maybe we're just a little more lucky because of the societal advances over the years.

Many luxuries that were once unthinkable are now the norm, like, cars, electricity, running water, television, etc. At this point, most of us regards those things as our birthright, but they weren't. None of the things we consider necessities today, would've been possible without the sacrifices of the past. Unfortunately, we are humans and we tend to forget the past. We start to believe our own hype. We think we are the world, when actually we're just a small speck within the vastness of the planet. I guess it's hard to think straight, when you start to believe you're the reason greatness occurred, instead of realizing that you're only reaping the benefits of those who preceded you.

As technology has advanced, humans have become more knowledgeable and more arrogant. Just because we know we can do something, does that mean we have to do it. Does there come a time when experimenting for the sake of experimenting, is really just an excuse because you ran out of ideas. What was the purpose of the pet rock? And what was the need for a Zee-Horse? What is a Zee-Horse, you asked.

Well, when you take a zebra stallion and mate it with a horse mare, you get a Zee-Horse. The Zee-Horse is shaped like a horse, but has stripes on its legs and sometimes has stripes on the body and neck. The Zee-Horse is also infertile. A professor Cossar Ewart, who was a geneticist, decided to cross these two animals because he wanted to see how the father of the Zee-Horse would relate to it. Later, the US Government carried out the same type of experiments. I understand that lots of things happen in the wilds with animals, but those things are nature. You would think a geneticist could put his talents to more constructive use.

The zebra is a unique animal all by itself. Why should you mate it with a horse, what would be accomplished? To me, this does nothing more than reduce the animals into something lesser. There are so many fascinating animals and part of their mystery is that they're all different. Each one has a personality all its own. I understand the mating process if you're trying to save a species, but the Zee-Horse wasn't created for some higher purpose. And why did the US Government waste time and tax dollars on the Zee-Horse? What vital information could the Government get from a Zee-Horse? This is a situation where man does something just because he can; and it doesn't matter if it really serves no purpose.
