At least Eve plucked the forbidden fruit from the tree before she (and Adam) damned all mankind to original sin. What kind of cro magnon eats an apple from a tree without picking it first? We pick things. It's what separates us from the giraffes and monkeys. Oh wait - a monkey would actually pick the fruit before eating it. Does this mean that monkeys are gaining on us? Are they actually more civilized than we humans are in the 21st century?
If the midterm elections are any indication I would say yes. The politicians were certainly slinging crap at each other like apes are wont to do. Shouldn't we have separated ourselves a little more from our primate cousins by now?
Therefore with this empirical evidence I will make a bold prediction. If we can't learn to pick our own fruit the monkeys will (continue) to win. Have I beaten this thought to death yet? I say yes. Ciao for now...
