It's universal! It might even be a necessary defesne mechanism against insanity. "Valentine Micheal Smith", a very wise albeit fictional character, said something real deep about finally understanding human laughter, when viewing the miserable existence of monkeys in a cage. Sorry I can't remember the details, but it was in the book "Stranger in a Strange Land", by Robert Heinlein. Amazing story, makes you think, and re-think. If someone has the book at home, could you quote us that part? _______________________________________________ List address: puptcrit-AT-puptcrit.org Admin interface: http://lists.puptcrit.org/mailman/listinfo/puptcrit Archives: http://www.driftline.org
