I get really pissed off with your moderate, mealy mouthed, equivocating comments.  I think Malthus was there way ahead of you.  Europe had a good go at it for 30years during the 20th. century.  These things never seem to be self-sustaining.  We need a more sustainable strategy, and humans don't breed like rats when they they have reasonable social security.  Ergo, look after the living and people won't have to die so much.

First of all;

"your moderate, mealy mouthed, equivocating comments"

I've been shamingly sober for the past few months and therefore have been acting/typing in a "socially acceptable" manner.  That is rapidly changing.

Second;

"look after the living and people won't have to die so much"

The problem ISN'T I'm not looking after others, the problem is that the ultrawealthy Cheney-ites treat everyone else like processable cattle and that will continue.  Other than the final peace of death, what REALISTIC alternatives exist for the non-ultrawealthy?

Let's have a Soylent Green alternative.  Euthanasia processing centers.  Sign me up!

If you intend to go on posting here, please make sure that doesn't change too much.

Does that mean I might have to eat you?

its a film too if we're playing charades.

Life should consist in at least fifty percent pure waste of time, and the rest doing what you please.

Well, it's not;  It is going to manage very well on its own, thank you.  

I am sure that the rich have some extensive eugenic, mass die-off, cleansing schemes.  

But those don't really count as a solution.  In fact the opposite.

True, but recall that the cattle voted the Cheney-ites into power. That's not quite the same situation as in 18th century France or 19th century Russia, where significant revolutions took place...
