What kind of species ARE we?

[fiat_knox]

Something I found myself musing upon early this morning.

We are ...           ... a weed.      ... A hardy perennial. ... An unwanted mutation      of an otherwise benevolent species. We are ...      ... a virulent offshoot.           ... an unsightly blight, a canker.      an infection, which unlike      its predecessors, reproduces All. Year. Round. We aren't a domesticated breed. Nobody has adapted us      for any paritcular function. Nobody has tamed us,      bred us into show breeds and pedigrees,           and beasts of burden,      or drones,           or lab rats. We are, above all,      a freak;           a sport;      a bastard throw           of the genetic dice of chance, and in our haste      to colonise, we're destroying our home      and ourselves. We Are A Wild Species.
