Should pedestrians put away their iPods?

It won't matter where anyone "goes". The system is designed to ensure the money-lenders that you're around long enough to allow them to siphon off whatever's possible in your future. You've been conditioned to believe you "need" ipods and cell phones.... big screen TV's and automobiles that choke the life out of societies and environments. You have no qualms buying goods made in China, or from huge corporations that maintain sweatshops around the world. You've been bought and sold. It's the world that everyone celebrates.....

I agree with you. I've stopped playing the "consumer" game as much as I can.

The problem with natural selection is that you might not be the one selected.

So? If my best contribution to my species is that I don't procreate; I don't have a problem with that. Clearly about a third of people shouldn't be procreating anyway.

But now, instead of letting the idiots kill themselves, we have ideas like parent licences, eugenics etc.. If someone needs a law to wear a life jacket - let them drown; that really would be in all our best interests, ultimately even his! There is no reason to think we would be better at managing our own species than we are at managing any other - which is piss poor at best.

You are only here because your ancestors were protected and helped by their family grouping and their rules.

Not really, my family has a long history of being $hit disturbers.
