Hmmm, I always thought that what made us humans special was oral sex.
I'm serious. I think that other species use deception of each other
to some extent. It is certainly part of the human condition, but I
see it as more of a vice than a virtue. I find honesty far more
satisfying, and folks who know me well know that my compliments have
meaning.
