Penny wise, dollar stupid. That's me alright. I've been considering more things that seem silly now that the America's romance with the automobile is over. What triggered this futility was reading just the beginning of an article on where GPS is headed as far as the car industry is going. If you can't afford to buy gas for your GPS equipped car, then what good is going to do to have the latest device that tells you exactly how to get there? That whole industry and all the people who work for them is doomed.
On the other hand, it may cause more stay-at-home moms because they won't be able to afford the gas to take their kids to soccer practice and ballet lessons. Playing soccer and practicing ballet are two of the most strenuous sports there are. Those kids gotta have a ride to the practice areas in order to work their butts off? What's happened to the United States?
The saddest thing about the earthquake in China is the school buildings collapsing and killing the only child a Chinese couple is allowed to have. But, that's not as sad as the government feeling they had to institute those rules in the first place. This earthquake in combination with the Olympics is going to cause Chinese couples to break those rules, and within five years there will be double the number of Chinese people with even less food to feed the original group.
Their own government is gonna have to somehow eliminate their own citizens to keep themselves in power. Their neighbors will have to use nuclear weapons to hold the Yellow Horde back. You wanna have an exciting watch on the six o'clock? Watch what happens when the Chinese take over their own government and grant themselves civil rights such as the Western societies promulgate. Their population will explode. All I can hope for them is that they taste just like chicken, because when the population doubles and triples in Asia, there won't be anything left to eat there, but people.
The craziest thing in America is that they introduced the pill to give women a choice about having babies or not. That was kind of stupid. Women don't have pregnancies to interrupt their periods and so they have unending PMS until they start going dormant.
When there was nobody to fill the jobs the lack of children made possible, they imported people from other places that have too many people, and then educate them and their children, so they'll feel too smart to do the manual labor the natural-born Americans won't do. Educated people don't do manual labor. Right? The natural citizens have been institutionalized-by-law into thinking they're too good to do physical work. Why educate people into thinking they're too smart to do the jobs they were imported to do, and then give them pills so they won't have many babies?
If those earthquakes in China had instead killed 300,000,000 people, in other words, the same number of people as the entire population of the United States, there would still be 1,000,000,000 people left to breed like rabbits in China. I'm not picking on China. There are even more people in India, and no one-child-per-couple laws there. China is more worried about getting swamped by the overspill of people from that region than they are about what happens in the Western Hemisphere.
The logistics I understand indicate that a lotta people are gonna have to be eliminated to make life on the planet we call Earth possible. The numbers get ridiculous. In the last few decades some entrepreneurs have discovered that the coastal plains of the Carolinas would make a great place to raise swine in huge buildings designed just for that purpose.
It soon because readily apparent that hogs produce twice as much excrement as humans do. In this county with a human population of around fifty thousand people they constructed housing for millions of pigs. Soon, the millions of pigs contaminated the ground water so that the coastal plains was quickly becoming a quagmire unfit for human beings to live upon. They might as well have had a nuclear meltdown.
I'm perfectly aware that I might harbor an unpopular opinion, but I'm sorta pleased about the gas prices. Too many poor people with four or five cars sitting around in the yard is like having too many pigs shitting and pissing you outta house and home. If there ain't no gas for these people to need cars for, then they won't need insurance on those cars either. A world with fewer insurance salesmen sounds just fine with me.
I do not attempt to tell the God's own truth here because I don't know what the truth is or hardly ever. I try to capture the drifting thoughts that randomly appear in my imagination for reasons I may not understand. I don't know if the content I capture with these words is true or false. The Comments settings are turned off to prevent me from having to defend what amounts to little more than fanciful, sometime crude speculation. Great moments in our lives never return.
