ONE word for the human race as a species . . .

[HDLee]

"found" the itullip website after Lehman Brothers went down and have appreciated the insight into what is unfolding having resigned from Investment Banking in Sept 98. Family and friends throught I was crazy, moving from a beautiful city (Cape Town) to an enlightening one (Arusha) . . . the main reason for my move was around ethics.

I'd be DELIGHTED to get as many responses as possible to this simple question from the intellectual capital that makes up the itullip community . . . I have been asking this question for over a decade, the first time I asked the question was turned around on me . . . my answer was and still is "ashamed"

so . . YOUR ONE word for the human race as a species - can be ANY word (noun, verb, adjective, even slang)

I would also add "locusts" -- Forgive me, for right now I do not have any kind words to say about the human collective!

Yeah well, that would be "tragicomic" to you Don. "Tragicomedy" is what you go to the 'ol Opry' to see on Sundays, and that is a noun, see? "Tragicomic" is the 'adjective'. [ tragicomic trag′i·com′ic (-käm′ik) adjective ]. (Don't worry folks, we're still learnin' Don the nouns and the adjectives). ;)

"Ingenious". Unfortunately...on all sides of the dice.

"Lucky" would be my second word if I was festerin' for a fight with the Darwinians.
