Never incorrect to ask such a serious question! I believe I already have two master-race GSDs living with us at the moment. The way they reason is scary most of the time. I'm having difficultly thinking a head of them & it's irritating me...;o)They know what I'm thinking before I can make the move. But realistically, I love every moment of it.

I found it quite stimulating and, well, cross current to much of our thinking today regards the human race. Is it at all possible that while we are improving the breed, we are conversely finding the "ineradicable degeneration" of the human race? I wonder if we are finding a dichotomous progression of technological and scientific advancement and the accumulation of specific knowledge, while at the same time dumbing down the genome to be unable to handle it. Possibly we will find the dog as the master race in another thousand years. Or is it politically incorrect to ask? <grin> Dave ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2012.
