Ha.  :)  I was only kidding.  I wouldn't want any slaves.  Not even a
puppy.  Besides, puppies are too cute to be slaves.  Anyway, my dog
probably thinks I'm her slave.  I know my cats do.  I wake up every
morning with a cat sound asleep on my chest.

I'm not a scientist or anything, and I'm not a metaphysicist, or even a
spiritual know-it-all, but why can't we have evolution and
choosing-to-be-born at the same time?  Maybe while evolution was
happening, souls were waiting to be incarnated into human beings.  I'm
not saying it's true, but what if....

I don't know if it was a good decision or not.  I've spent some years
contemplating that....
