Talk about going up against an army, haha, but still, I'm sure many of us have thought about it, and many of us have thought about our own emotions as men, and many of us, have cast them off to the side and continued with conquest as the status quo has suggested.
We live in a social culture based on a fearful attitude (God and nature is what we fear), and a fearful attitude to reality which makes all of us feel as if we don't belong on this planet, and thus, we set out to conquer it. The two great symbols of man are the rocket (to conquer space) and the bulldozer.
