No. It is
not my problem. If it were my problem, I would solve it or die trying. As it stands, your facts/theories/stories have no impact on my life, do not limit my possibilities -while I might be somewhat .. less restricted- and frankly, pose no threat to me, my family, or the people I do care about.
[KMA]Avenger wrote:you should care, care for your fellow human beings,
Muahahaha. Oh, really?
One can go out of their way to describe humans, but I will keep it short and simple. [spoiler]Some people are rats, filthy beasts, spreading infectuous diseases, biting randomly and being generally repulsive. When a rat enters your home, and you see it, what do you do? You pick up either the rat or a bat, and beat or throw it out of your house. You do not want rats around your children, you do not want rats around your food. In fact, you want them nowhere, if not locked up. Some people are dogs. Loyal, hard workers, some of them great hunters, others great guardians, as long as they have a master. When a dog enters your house, you might be inclined to be happy to see it, or kick it out of the house if you are not. Some people are sheep. Lazy, no good for anything but their meat and their wool. You don't invite sheep into your house, but when one happens to be there, you get it out. Some people are rabbits. Cute and furry, but without understanding. When you see a rabbit on the road sitting there right in the middle, you do not slow down. Depending on the height of your car's axles, you either hit it or not. The rabbit's possible death does not upset you. Other people are felines.. hunters, they are grateful when fed, and lean fighting machines when not. Silent hunters, they have a knack for tracking rats, rabbits, sheep, the occasional larger game. Felines have no need for political games.. they do what they want, or what the hand that feeds them wants them to do. They do not question, they do their jobs. And then, there are the hawks and eagles. Free spirits, kings of the air, lords of the sky and the ground alike. Kill with a single dive, spot a needlepin sticking out of a haystack with hawk-eyed precision, see the great perspective, have the potential to rule the world.[/spoiler]
I consider myself a hawk, or if of the lesser animals, a feline. I would not tolerate rats near my children. I would not tolerate rats to approach me, talk to me, order me around.. rats are disgusting. All rats
could be terminated and I would not shed a single tear.
In conversation, attitude and mannerisms, I conduct myself like an eagle. How I can keep that up? I make it believable. Do you think people laugh behind my back? Sometimes, yes.. if they have the decency to wait, I often hear about it from my dog friends. If they do not wait, I have no qualms about turning around to face them. As a rule, I need not dirty my hands -felines react well to me-, but when I have to -and I have had to, once-, I can stand my ground more than adequately.
To some, I may seem like a feline. Fine by me. But the first person to consider me a dog, or a rabbit.. I have yet to meet. The people who will meet me face-to-face and consider me a rat, or a sheep, are yet to be born. (*ironic, if you consider this forum, how different from RL it gets)

Point-by-point:[spoiler]Ad 1. It is living the beggar's dream to do nothing and receive state-funded (read: taxpayer) support. That rat-behaviour is robbery. I am all for allowing the killing of robbers.
Ad 2. That is the nature of the game, G. Learn to play, or stand on the sidelines. Do not run onto the pitch yelling we are cheating if you do not know the rules.
Ad 3. My 'leader' is human (for the most part). As a consequence, he cares. I find it admirable to find someone so very much in control of their desires and emotions as to appear not to give a crap. Congratulations, you have a better leader as we do. Though it is my belief leaders are to be, without exception, hawks and eagles. Care just enough to keep the sheep following you, and just enough not to get dragged down by it. Caring distracts, and while it is a powerful tool, it is a double-edged blade. Care too much, and you will burn out.
Ad 4. I find drug-running particularly irrelevant to my environment. Sure, drug runners should pay import taxes. But other as that, I fail to see the relevance. If rats, sheep and dogs wish to poison themselves, let them throw money at it. I find dogs with addictions are so much easier to employ in your own service as regular dogs.
Ad 5. Indigos cannot be raised by non-gifted parents. Heck, most normal children cannot be raised by their rat parents. Contrary to popular belief, if you take a baby rat out of their environment, they can be taught tricks. Some can even interact properly with others, instead of biting and infecting them. Besides.. what was that about childrens' rights? They have the right to a stable home. Looked at the divorce rates lately? Stable homes, my backside.
Ad 6. Give a monkey a gun, and he is bound to shoot either himself or -Heaven forbid!- the one who gave it to him.
Ad 7. People die. Some sooner as others. Particularly useless ones, like the ones writhing in hunger instead of working to get it, are particularly irrelevant. Ones you interact with personally, are relevant even if, in the big picture, they -or their deaths- are not. You want me to shed a tear for them? Consider it shed. Moving on, you imply value where -as a rule on which there are exceptions aplenty- there is none.
Ad 8. If the rats would just die, the sheep do as they are told, and the rabbits do their jobs, this point would be less valid. As it stands, it is your best point thus far -though
only in that it is your only valid point.
Ad 9. Not just the Rockefellers, sweetheart. If you are looking for someone to blame, though, you need only look in a mirror. I know why you did it, of course.. you were scared, frightened by stories of wars and viruses.. and when these people stood up to offer you hope, a way out, in exchange for one thing, you took the offer with both hands. One thing only.. your complete and silent obedience. You are breaking the covenant, G. Not that one man's aberrant vision on world events is particularly relevant.. but do you really need a scapegoat for a simple, evolutionistic balancing act of nature?
Ad 10. You seem to think "freedom" and "terrorism" are mutually exclusive. While admirable in it's naivite, it is as wrong as the 'logic' behind your thoughts on that.
Ad 11. When the next large-scale natural disaster strikes, do continue to blame the government. I assure you, it is entirely their fault. Rockefeller paid for an earthquake generator. You should see San Francisco in 10 years.
Ad 12. And yet another cause of your misfortune other as yourself. See below.[/spoiler]

I share that part about the hypocrisy and the stupidity. However. Stupid people are necessary. If there were none, we would not be having this talk!

*gotta love a little self-criticism*
Either way. What I find most hypocritical, is that some people are hell-bent on finding causes for the misfortune of either themselves, or the human race in general, or specific groups. Instead of looking at themselves, they look at others as the cause of ALL things wrong. In their arrogance, their picture of themselves as saintesque heroes of the day while blaming *everything* on their leaders. People that in most cases, they directly or indirectly voted into office. That aside.. the pathological need to find scapegoats indicates a massive uncertainty and a desire to compensate for an incredible sense of guilt. You, the people, are forgiven. Every once in a while, all animals will look up and say "If only I could fly..".
