I've seen a lot of things lately that I
don't understand. Lots of things online, both recent and historical,
that go on and on about the terrible failures of man. Our cruelties,
stupidities, selfishness and crimes. They repeatedly display
humanity as an utterly amoral species without redeeming features.
Or, more commonly, some subset of humanity.
To those who say these things I say I
agree, and want to follow your logic to its inevitable, legitimate
conclusion. Because humanity (and all of its subsets, one way or
another) is irredeemably awful, vicious, vile, disgusting, evil and
heartless, I propose that we take the obvious next step.
The '70s saw the movement called Zero
Population Growth, aimed at reducing the expansion of the numbers of
the human race to zero, so that we could stabilize and work to
improve ourselves and our planet. My suggestion is that we remove
one word from that policy.
I now propose the Zero Population
policy. Its intent is to eliminate the irretrievably damaging and
useless human race from the planet Earth. Citizens will be asked to
work on a grass-roots level to take themselves and their families out
of the ecosystem on a permanent basis. Centers for learning about
the various processes that will result in this removal will be made
available, although most of us seem to be pretty much naturals at
that kind of thing (since humanity is really nothing more than a
trumped-up killer ape).
So go to your supermarkets and purchase
lots of drain cleaner. Make use of all of those nice bang-making
devices so many of us own. Find tall buildings and bridges. Find
out how fast your car can really move before aiming it at the
concrete wall.
Here's to the end of the human race.
We slaughtered and destroyed, we did lots of damage, and lots of us
got a great deal of enjoyment pointing out all of our flaws without
mercy, compassion or justice. Which is, after all, the most human of
mind sets.
