Comment from redrider6612
Very interessting list. I agree with most of them, but a review isn't the place to have a debate.
Suggestions:
Man's perception of health-care is an oxymoron--don't you mean the term healthcare is an oxymoron?
most often[,] cuts them down
A man who has lost his vision[,] has smothered his dreams.
reward beyond death[,] will still try like hell to hang on to life[..why is that?]--delete the question part
The last one doesn't really make sense.
Best wishes in the contest.

redrider6612, thank you so very much for stopping by. I can always count on you for a most helpful review. I believe I fixed all the nits. And yes I do agree with you, this is not a place for debates unless asked for or deliberately provoked. This was just my perception, which can very well change. again thank you so very much.. oh and once again I feel the need to apologize for just replying. jlsavell

Interesting insight and so very true. There is much to be learned, but very few who choose to learn it. I enjoyed this look at the many things we could learn. Well done.

Comment from grassroots08
9. Man's moral guidepost (is) splintered by selective ethics.
9. Man's moral guidepost(s) are splintered by selective ethics. (Your choice!)
12. A man who ignores the vast sea of knowledge this world has to offer, limits himself to vast possibilities and experiences this world has to offer. (This didn't read quite right, the meaning is a bit cloudy - IMHO)
This was an interesting and unique read. Cheers, Don

Comment from mermaids
I enjoyed reading this, you mentioned so many truths about human beings. We are often full of conflict and closed minds. Best wishes in the contest.

Comment from Aussie
By, you certainly put your thinking cap on and charted the course of the Universe; all true and I agree with every line. If only, if only humans would listen to the slow pulse of Mother Earth, she is so sick. Thanks Jimi.

Comment from Arkine
I love this one. So true. Very little has been explained and most chose not to even try. Blind faith often leads to war. And we still have a lot of growing up to do. :) Nice job!

Comment from NightWriter
"Lessons From My Species" is so one sided, LOL. After reading this I wanted to hide my manliness under a rock! How dare this creature, this man, this beast of man, LOL. I hear you though, and couldn't agree more. :)
My favorite: 12. A man who ignores the vast sea of knowledge this world has to offer, limits himself to vast possibilities and experiences this world has to offer
Well done. No spaggies.
