Dog & Bone
Jun 25, 2002, 18:51
If the dogs had the means, know how and technology to divide the bone between them, would they still fight over it?

Humans do have animal instincts in the back of their brain. A true democratic society would appeal to higher brain functions rather than base animal instincts. Humans don't fuck in the street like dogs sometimes do.

A ruler of a tribe may have the finest feathers, but if he was a representative selected by the tribe he could be removed if he tried to take the best feathers for himself - this is a hypothetical statement as in tribal days people did not have the awareness to have accountable elected representatives.

The ruler of the tribe would have been the greatest warrior and hunter so it would have been advantageous for other members of the tribe to learn from him, thus to increase the amount of food, hide and bones for tools.

The tribe & the chief may have been more symbiotic than a purely exploitative arrangement.
