And another thing: this is just self-loathing, pure and simple. There have been many species throughout history that have been too successful, and nature eventually dealt with them. However, during their heyday, would you still consider them parasites? Is it wrong to be the most dominant species on Earth. Is it wrong that we have abstract thought and extremely large brains relative to our body mass?
Humans are absolutely capable of living off the Earth in a harmonious, sustainable, and mutually beneficial manner, even if much of the developed world chooses not to. We don't even REMOTELY fit the biological definition of 'parasite', and it's extremely childish and small-minded of you to make this assertion.
