The question and polling results are buried within the article and endnotes......Previously, the question was asked of Princenton undergrads.

If by chance you havent voted yet, vote then read the article if you wish.

Any other questions let me know.

"Is it warmer in the mountains or in the summer?"

Your hilarious.

I won't vote specifically on this, but it's reminds me very much of "I wish I knew how to quit you, Jimmy!!!!" :puke2:

:rolleyes:

Last chance to vote....Thanks to all you who have voted and contributed to the discussion.

One last time....Thanks to those of you who voted.....

Perhaps a better more straight foward way of asking what this question was designed to ask is..."Do you believe "mother nature" is naturally nuturing to us or not?""

These questions look at our folkbiology or naive (naitive) biological reasoning.

Personnaly I thought maybe more people would say "yes" on a pet site.....but snake owners arent your common pet keepers.

Mendell you are the king of interesting articles! :bow:

I personally don't think mother nature is cruel in any way but I do feel she follows a cycle of some sort. She gives you what you need to thrive and then sometimes takes away causing mass amounts of death or destruction. In which case she either wipes out all living things or leaves behind the few strong that were able to adapt and survive. When I think mother nature I think of that symbol with the two snakes eating each others tails, just balance. Life being brought in...life being taken out. The weak usually die and the strong usually survive, sorta of the ultimate judge and filtration process. So to answer your question I think mother nature is naturally destructive and nuturing.
