First, let me state a policy advocated by Charles Darwin that most of you are familier with: Survival of the fitest.

Now, changes (in Darwins case, evolution) are not always due to competition. But 99% of the time, they are. A notable exception would be the fainting goat- and animal that collapses easily under stress and is thus easy prey. Animals- which, as the purest form of nature are reflective of possible human tendancies- sometimes do live in symbiosis. For example, the clown fish and the sea anemone. Each has something to gain in this relationship: the clownfish its food, the anemone cleanliness. This factor, however, has proved unsuccesful when used on large scale. The fall of the communist regime in Russia, as well as thoose in the surrounding countries, proves this point. Another point worth of consideration- mob rule.
