		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been writing for this blog since its inception, more than a year ago.  I&#8217;ve decided it&#8217;s time for a rest, or maybe a change.  Sometimes a rest is a change.  I hope you have enjoyed what I have written.  Or, if not enjoyed, at least found yourself thinking about the subject at hand.  Thank [...]]]></description>

These behemoths had it their way.  They consumed vast amounts of food.   They trampled and trod upon whatever came before them.  They did not have to adapt, and so they did not.  When a planetary disaster struck, they were helpless and quickly headed towards oblivion.
