Well, Frank does not like Khasars, but the scientific evidence is 
that "love" is not a part of human nature, except of course for self-
love. People do love themselves. When you take Marrige and Family 
Counseling classes at the postgraduate level the first thing they 
tell you is, if you want love, buy a dog. Male-female relationships 
are just business deals and nothing else. Human beings simply are 
not loving creatures. Like Milton Friedman says, you do not expect a 
cat to bark or a dog to quack. Every beast has its own nature.

Pwrsonally I don't think dogs love anybody, either. I think they see 
humans as egotists and I think they have it figured out if they 
pretend some character is important he will give them a lot of dog 
food. To which I say. Right on both points, Rover. Whatever they 
are, dogs are not dumb. THEY manipulate YOU and not the other way 
around.
