(July 21, 2016 at 9:51 pm)Rhythm Wrote: Yeah, nature documentaries that imagine what the alligator is thinking, and then voice it in american english.  Fiction.  Journalists who guess, as best they can, the thoughts of others.  Fiction.  I don't know if anyone ever told you this...but we often use fiction to explore or convey fact.  

The problem will come in 2000 years from now, when assholes like us will refuse to believe Alligatorists when they insist alligators thought and spoke in English. They will accuse my descendants of bias when they say, "But. . . alligators CAN'T talk."
