       We’ve all seen the movie Jurassic World (2015). The presence of the dinosaurs always seems to lead to some sort of destruction. It’s a darn shame. Anyway, the point in all of this is that any wild animal can be tamed by man, whether that’s a velociraptor, Tyrannosaurus rex (I don’t see why not), a bear, a lion, a German Shepherd, or a chihuahua. I suppose even a house cat could be tamed. Psychologists, or animal psychologists (yes, there is such a thing), differ on to what level of consciousness an animal can reach, or what its maximum potential is. Nonetheless, we know that animals certainly are not as advanced in consciousness as we are, as humans. That being the case, why is it that James says that the tongue cannot be tamed? Why is that an animal can display better behaviors than we as humans often do? Why is it that people will turn to animals after a bad experience with a human for comfort and encouragement? What makes us as humans among the most vile, even more so than a T-Rex?
