I don't wish that, but I've long thought about an animal suddenly taking a massive step in evolution and challenging humans for control of planet Earth.

Cheetah's, Apes... 3-toed Sloths.

This is just one small example of what a complete failure industrialization has been. I cannot complain to be lily white as I drive cars and consume goods etc...and am as big a part of the problem as anyone else... how ever I do also recognize the fact that humans suck, on pretty much every level that doesn't include raping this planet like a back alley crack whore.

I've never understood this mentality that the planet would be "better off" without people. You realize that something like 99% of all of the species that have ever existed throughout Earth's history are now extinct, right? Human beings didn't kill all of them. Frankly, your reaction is pretty childish.

Actually we did, just very covertly.

Humans cant survive without the planet.
The Planet can survive without humans.
Simple as that.

C'mon, guys. A little hyperbole never hurt anyone.

People sure would be better off if everyone on the planet was removed from existence...

Oh wait, logic called, that's nonsensical.
