I saw this story on TV as I was getting dressed for church this morning. It really impressed me, and has stuck with me all day. So tonite I looked you up and replayed it. It needs to be replayed over and over again all this week! Maybe there is really hope for us. . .

This is a beautiful story made more compelling by the video. The world can learn alot from this. It''s all about love or at least it should/could be.

The thing that really ruins such a beautiful story is when you get people who have to ruin it...Take Morphndol8 for instance.....What planet did you fall off of? Some of us would surely love to pitch in and pay to ship you back !! You could even defect to another country....we''ll even help! You really don''t even know what you were commenting on do you or were you doing the the Morph....ine? It''s people like you we should kick out of our country and let others willing to serve and protect us in. Americans worry about terrorists when they should more worried about people like yourself lurking about the U.S.A.

Thank you for running the piece. Human society could learn a lot from the interaction of elephants among their own as well as others outside their own species.They share in raising their young, take turns at water holes (even when very thirsty) and have managed to coexist quite nicely for countless years until messed with by "civilization".

morphndol8, are you drunk again or just plain insane? Your two posts are totally irrelevant. This was an absolutely wonderful piece, and it should be celebrated, not cheapened by your mindless ramblings.
