The Least Intelligent Species

                                    Living creatures in their many forms are adapted to survive in the environments in which they live. One species rapidly deteriorates its environment, making it impossible for many other species to continue to adapt. And so, species after species are driven into extinction.
                                  This one species is compelled to create weapons that can destroy all life; weapons that many of its kind now possess and of which some will be happy to use. Willfully and by neglect this species has turned much of its environment into poisonous, cancer causing toxic stew. It has made life so uninhabitable that a mass extinction of other species is now taking place.  
                                   If intelligence is measured by the ability to survive, adapt, and maintain or at least not destroy one's environment, then this species must be the stupidest of all.
