sanguinity's review

Outdated and marvelous. Truly.

I like best its schizophrenia about extinctions. "All the Smiladons died out thousands of years ago. That's a good thing. A Smiladon was cruel even when he was a kitten." Also, we're sad the mammoths are gone, but it's basically okay because they were here when we needed them for hunting and we don't need them anymore now. And yet, despite those examples (and many more like them) it ends on this note:

"We can't let this happen to the whales. We must take care of the world's last giants... and all the other wonderful creatures who share the earth with us."
