Humans beings are the same as all creatures on Earth.: most humans are content to follow the herd and struggle to survive. A relative few are predators or parasites who feed upon the herd. These few are the bankers, priests and politicians who cannot survive without the herd. They disguise themselves as “leaders” of the herd. As long as “the herd” believes the that predators are “leaders” they will be killed and eaten. This is “life” on Earth.
