It's really annoying when people like to pretend that humans are better than animals. Humans ARE animals. Sure we might be a lot smarter than most of the other animals and we have things like philosophy, but deep down inside, we are animals. And I'll just say right now, in case you think I'm gonna get into some PETA bullshit, I'm not. PETA are a bunch of morons and should be shot on sight, really. Cause they're fucking crazy and hypocritical and stupid. The stupid part is most of the reason they should die.
Anyway, if it wasn't clear enough, from SCIENCE, that people are animals, the behavior of the human race is a pretty good indicator.
At work, they trample through the produce department like a heard of fat ugly cattle. Go through the displays like a pig goes through his trough.
[the only redeeming quality about any of them is some of them are pretty sexy. There are some definite MILFs at my store]
Another example is the behavior of people in new Orleans during the Katrina incident.

The reason I'm bringing this up, is that I can see complete societal collapse approaching. Maybe not for a couple years, but it is coming. Martial law will probably be imposed. Perhaps years before the collapse, or perhaps there will be some rebellion or staged terrorist attacks (it's happened before) or global nuclear warfare as countries fight over diminishing resources like water and land and oil and trees. In my opinion, any attack on freedom (such as martial law) is just as bad, if not worse than societal collapse.
I did a lot of thinking at work today along these lines. Not just total societal collapse either, but also if a natural disaster or something happened.
Some people would behave normal and try not to panic. They would probably die first if they don't escape. Most people will panic and try to escape. Some, however, (and these are the ones who will be labeled criminals) will try to survive. They will cast off their shackles of 'society' and reveal their true nature: that of the animal.
[at this point I'd also like to note that I think gun control is utterly retarded because criminals will obtain guns anyway. All gun control does is prevent an average person from defending themselves against a criminal brandishing a gun]
The reason I was thinking about these things is that I've been thinking about maybe having a family some day. A very very small family. (Yes, I know the world is overpopulated right now, BUT if certain things happen, we will need all the people we can get).
If I have a family, I plan on defending them. By any means necessary. I will not hesitate to kill in defense of my life or my family. This is how it is in nature, kill or be killed.
Now I'm not saying I want to kill. I try to live my life in accordance to PLUR. Peace, Love, Unity, Respect. And if I am treated in that way, I will reciprocate. But, break into my house in the middle of the night and expect a couple bullets headed your way. Your brain will make a nice painting for my wall. Basically, I intend on having me and my family survive at any cost.
Survival at the expense of freedom though? That's a really tough question. And I hope I never have to make that choice. I guess currently I am surviving while some of my freedoms are limited. But would I fight an oppressive totalitarian regime? Currently I do not acknowledge the right of the government to tell me what I can or cannot put in my body. What I can or cannot say. What sexual preference I should have. Those things are not the business of the government. So although I may not have the freedoms, I still do what I want. And this, I'm sure, will someday be a cause of conflict.
I doubt I'll ever be the strongest. I doubt I'll ever be the best shot. I doubt I'll ever be the greatest assembly programmer of embedded micros. I doubt I'll ever be the best hacker.
But I can aspire to be.
I can aspire to be something more than the ignorant masses who sit their obese asses on their couches watching tv and collecting checks from the government.
I have aspirations to be greater than I am, to be better than I ever could be.

What sexual preference I should have. Those things are not the business of the government. So although I may not have the freedoms, I still do what I want. And this, I'm sure, will someday be a cause of conflict.
I doubt I'll ever be the strongest. I doubt I'll ever be the best shot. I doubt I'll ever be the greatest assembly programmer of embedded micros. I doubt I'll ever be the best hacker.
But I can aspire to be.
I can aspire to be something more than the ignorant masses who sit their obese asses on their couches watching tv and collecting checks from the government.
I have aspirations to be greater than I am, to be better than I ever could be.
