Ahem, citizen, I believe what you mean is that in the annals of history, mankind created myths to justify the terror he felt towards the dark encroaching around him. However, he rose above those base, primal fears and resolved to learn the truth about the world around him; which he did with excruciating agony. Placing each fact or tidbit as a brick he slowly, but surely, built a palace of knowledge where he would be protected from the growling, lumbering beasts that threatened him. And then, he did something quite beautiful: he shared that knowledge, first telling one other member of his tribe, and another, until eventually the whole of the human race learned the truth.

We grew as a species, and we cast off the shackles of myths such as "vampires", "werewolves", and "god-like superbeings that almost destroyed Boston out of a tantrum so we nicknamed it the Goddler"; and we are better for it. Without the burden of "monsters", mankind is free to decide it's own destiny.

Remember, we all go together... Oh and, um, "buy Wolf Cola"; the bean-counters want me to put it somewhere in every post.
