|  |     If one does not need to kill to eat then one can spend one's
    time aspiring to higher thought, the creative and the aesthetic.
    We would also spend some time in honor of the light that gives life
    to all of us.

|  |     Perhaps I was equating having green skin, three arms, and chlorophyll
    to being male - after all, there was a "men only" topic put in this
    file as well.

|  |     Well, gosh, .2 was obviously satirizing the "Oh, yeah? Well, you're
    a sexist!" style of knee-jerk response that has filled about half
    of this conference - and satirizing it pretty well, I thought.
    
    .0 was just plain sarcastic. (I rather like sarcasm, myself...)
    
    It's a good point, though. Humans are so - so - anthropomorphic?
    They seem to think that their particular mode of promoting the species
    via tool-building and the mass exploitation of every other living
    thing on the planet is not only proper, but admirable. (This *is*
    a generalization, of course, and I do so hate sentient beings who 
    generalize... Apologies to you independent-minded humans, wherever
    you may be.)

    personally I dream of electrons cascading over my pigments...

| 608.9 | What do you want to know? | NEXUS::MORGAN | In your heart you KNOW it's flat. | Mon Dec 21 1987 16:24 | 11 | 
|  |     Since I fit the qualifications of this topic I'll respond.
    
    What do you want to know about us Guluks?
    
    As far as sexes go we have three. One you would refer to as masculine,
    one as feminine and one as catalytic. All three are necessary to
    produce a binary Guluk pup. Half the pup grows in the male, the
    other half in the female and the bodily fluids are donated by the
    catalytic. I'm a catalytic myself.
           
    We like sunshine!

|  |     I dream of devouring only the most obnoxious and obstreperous of
    noters.  I figure when I've absorbed enough light and soil nutrient
    then I will pick up my roots - and FIND THEM ALL!!!! :-)
    
    moo ha ha (evil cackle)

|  |  ... I wonder how far down in the ground I go.  It feels reeeaaalll far.
Sometimes I wonder if parts of me come back out of the ground somewhere
else.  Maybe that tree is me too?  Or maybe everything is me?  And how
astonishing it is that *I* am photosynthesizing at the center of the
universe!  Wow!

    I like straight talk.
