Term brings up a few exceptionally valid points in his arguments, even if he is trying to incite the masses. Granted, the direction that he/she is trying to get them to look is quite refreshing, but then again, I'm a fairly vicious bastage myself so that might have something to do with the agreement factor. What's wrong with the concept of survival of the fittest? Hells, we, as a species, are only a few thousand years out of the jungle, proverbially speaking. It is still hard wired into us, but it takes on new perspectives instead of simple food and procreation. We admire the strongest. The fastest runner, the biggest football player, the baseball player that hits the most homeruns. We admire the young ones that win the spelling contests or write the winning essay. Perhaps it is not as animalistic as the strongest wolves taking down the lame elk for food, but it is still there, but in our own egotistical views, we are so much better than the 'lower' species on this planet. Too many wolves and not enough deer and the wolves starve until the predator population can actually be supported by the prey population. The wolves don't just call up the factory and ask for more deer to be delivered. They accept this as part of the natural order. We, as humans, sit back and mourn the starving wolves, or call for hunting to thin the herds, but that is just more of our arrogance in our supremacy that we can choose what lives and what dies in the spirit of compassion. Personally, I am all for dropping enough machetes and other chopping style weapons into Africa, then building a nice thick batch of barbed wire around the entire continent and let them sort it out themselves. If a bridge has a weight capacity of 5,000 pounds before it actually breaks, would you purposely put 7,500 pounds of people on it intentionally? The agricultural 'bridge' in Africa can only support so many people, but yet they keep breeding like rabbits snorting powdered Viagra. They are intentionally forcing that 'bridge' to break, and yet, the rest of the world is supposed to produce enough food to feed them, as well as the billion in India and the over billion in China? How long until the 'bridge' in the U.S. breaks because of places like Africa? Yes, sex is fun and exciting. With that many nerve endings down there, it's not exactly all that shocking that it feels good. Big freaking deal. At least China has the right idea by limiting how many children a family can have.
