Bill S, you opened this thread with what I think is a crucial comment: "...this makes us in a sense the lords of creation." Before we "call it a day", I just wanted to make note of it and ask: In what ways do you think we are, could, or should be, "lords of creation?"

I admit to opening the thread, but I don't admit to saying anything about "lords of creation".

An interesting phrase 'lords of creation', that begs the question- where are the 'ladies of creation'? The latter sound faintly ridiculous, whilst the former are just ridiculous.

Interestingly, Ellis, as I understand it, the English word 'lord' is a contraction of two familiar words: loaf...as in, bread...and ward...as in, warden, or keeper. From 'lord' we get: keepers of the bread.
ETYMOLOGY OF THE WORD:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord#Etymology

LET'S NOT FORGET TO INCLUDE THE LADIES
--------------------------------------
Therefore, in days of old, the lords and ladies of the castle, or of the manor, whatever--were in effect the government of the day.

They were the keepers of the bread--symbol of the necessities of life. What justice there was came from the lords and the ladies. This poses the question:

CAMELOT ANYONE?
Good kings--like king Arthur of Camelot, and of course me, king of SAGGO--took care to collect only the just amount of taxes. Also, we made sure that what was produced and collected was distributed justly. This assured that there was a "happy-ever-aftering"--the kind we have in Canada, eh?

Obviously I shall have to extend my vocabulary and address the bread bin, which hither to used to keep the bread-- as LORD Bread Bin.

One of the main troubles seems to have been that a lot of lords took “bread keeper” to mean that they should keep it all for themselves. Things don’t change much, do they?

Yes that's why some of them want to spend your tax money to search for it. They don't have any thing that they believe in so they want to look for more that they can believe in.

Hi Bill - Just watched a documentary about this today on YouTube (Are we real)and then I came on here and saw your post. Really interesting - Perhaps we are the pawns of creation and the multi universes our universe's creator - in the sense that many give rise to the probability of our existence.
