because of the freedoms granted us in the Constitution, advances made in the US - and spread around the world - leaped ahead by 5000 years. We have no option but to go backward now that our freedoms are eroding.<<<

That might not surprise me, but I don’t like the thought.

All this fighting for freedom, makes me sad and very tired.

I thought for years that the wars were just cooked up, to kill a few folks and keep the population in control.

Kinda like the lemmings that will all jump in the ocean, if that is what their leader wants.

Or Wolves, who do not mate in the bad years, when there will not be enough food.

Someday, check into the clan habits of the wolves, they are interesting. Some never take a mate and the group will often have many Uncles, who are wolfless, but help care for the young of the clan.

Guinea Hens are the same, the males raise the babies, after they hatch.

LOL, as my memory goes, I think the Quail also get raised by the males of the flock........they are fun to watch, the male stands sentinel, watching over the flock, until it moves or as it is here, the flock is bedded down in the big tree, then he joins them.

You thought Hitler and the Nazis were made up or exaggerated? Or the USSR's policy of spreading communism by any means?

I will - they sound darling. Very smart species to consider their ability to feed their young. Smarter than many humans today! I'll look into quail too -thanks for the ideas.
