I have a very antagonistic attitude towards birds, since they are the primary surviving descendants of the dinosaurs, and I still feel strongly about the mammal/dinosaur feud. I realize that most people think the dinosaurs are long gone, and there's no point in worrying about such an old rivalry, but I cannot just let it go.

Even if I logically chose to wipe the slate clean and give all bird species the benefit of the doubt (I don't of course!) I would not be able to carry that out in terms of any actual action or change of personal behaviour, because my emotional response on this subject is so strong. I simply cannot look at birds as harmless, innocent avian creatures with nothing suspect in their evolutionary past. I am incapable of blocking out my knowledge of their dirty little secrets, or gazing upon them with a willfull blindness.

Every bird I see fly by is a challenge to my claim to rights as a native inhabitant of the planet Earth. I suspect, and indeed I hope, that they regard me in the same light! I have no desire to work against the birds in secrecy! Everything I say on this subject is meant for public perusal, and hopefully will encourage intelligent public debate. I am confident in my beliefs, and in my position. I have no need for secrecy, or trickery.

Here is one account of the glorious mammal revolution that overthrew the fascist dinosaurs. There is a photograph of one of the Small, Fast, and Furry heros from that epic war.

This is an interview with one particular mammal that traveled back in time, to the Upper Mesozoic period, discussing why he went back, what he expected to find, what he actually did find, and what his thoughts were regarding life on Earth, of all types, from all different time periods.

I would like to take a moment now to point out that I am in no way hostile towards modern reptiles. They are not tyranical and heartless, like the dinosaurs were in their glory years, or like the birds are today. Modern reptiles are thoughtfull, trustworthy, and noble creatures. Nanda is one particular reptile that I am particularly fond of, in fact.

This isn't directly related, but the dinofish site dedicated to the Coelacanth is one of the coolest sites on the net.
