I need to establish some guidelines: definition of words is very important. What I think a word means may be different from how you define a word. An example: when I started in the loan business, we had Loan Officers...salespeople who sold the products. Today, however, they are called AE's or Account Executives.

See what I mean? Check this out in your own world. If you are young ask your parent's to find examples. Another reason definition is very important between people, is that what is intended may not be what is understood. "Nothing" is a word that means one thing to women and another to men!

When I use the word tribe, I mean a small group of people that are together to simply survive. Simply put, there is safety in numbers. It is easier to find food, find or make shelter and make sure that the offspring reach the age of maturity in order to insure the survival of the group.

It is still the same in the animal world as it is in the animal known as Homo Sapien Sapien: us. It will be useful to remember that there is nothing that has not happened before, no act, deed or emotion. Niether the causes for it or the reactions. We may be able to bomb out of existence hundreds, thousands, even millions, but the intent to do away with is the same, one to one or multiples.

As it was in the beginning, so it remains. The size of the group or tribes has changed dramatically. The reasons are still the same. The consequence of tribes today, however, have the possibility of obliterating us from the planet. That is different and will continue to be only more ominous.

Until Neanderthal, I believe, there were no "leaders". There were no egos. No desire for more than what was necessary.
