I never said animals were more cruel than humans. People have posted that we are the only species that kills for pleasure or desire without cause. I was simply responding to that theory.
As far as a nuclear holocaust, no I wouldn't survive because I'm pretty much in the crosshairs midway between Philly and New York with a major weapons development center virtually in my backyard. Would I want to survive? You're damn right I would, that's the point of life.
I think the issue is we see humans in a much different light. You see us as outsiders to nature and the things we do as being out of place. I see us as a part of nature. Is everything we do good? No. Is it all bad? Of course not. We are bit players compared to nature. Nature has made species extinct for billions of years and will continue to do so long after we are gone. When we abandon a city nature takes it back in a hearbeat of geologic time.
Even if all the nuclear weapons in the world were exploded at the same time, the earth would survive. The human race would survive. Most animal species would survive.
As far as not thinking about the consequences, I think we're about the only species that does think about the consequences.
