SPEAK YOUR MIND

"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free to move?"

"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

In Response To: A Note on Race and Species (Specter)

However you can look at the other side of the debate:
Who's to say Humans are a singular species only located on planet Earth and aliens are not just different races of the "Humanoid" species?
Many years of living on Earth, the "Human" species has evolved and adapted to the surroundings of the Earthen environment. Other Human races on other planets could have adapted and evolved in the same manner changing ever so slightly in their looks andbehavior to accompany their own planet's environment.
When you look at Humans alone on planet Earth, there is a wide range of diversity, all being higher than the "Red-Neck" breed of the southern North American continent. Who's to say this hasn't happened elsewhere on other planets, making the Human species originally a space faring life form that populated millions of systems and planets throughout, evolving over the years to adapt to each new location inhabited?
Just something to think about.
You could be related to the Pfhor, and not even know it.
