It is my opinion that society's ills are all in some way linked to overpopulation. Our vast numbers and decreasing space create in us a deep insecurity. This insecurity is well founded as the very space that we occupy is being threatened. Our lives are more and more filled with feelings of foreboding and fear. Our actions and decisions are apt to be motivated by our fear of losing what we think we have. We are the victims of our own instinct to reproduce ourselves.

Lost in a sea of faceless, nameless people, many more of us suffer form a malady of obscurity. We are quickly losing any concept of what is meant by 'unique' identity.

How can most people possibly live up to the images of life which we see every day on TV? We are bombarded by images that confuse us, and create in us unrealistic expectations which we can never attain. The constant media blitzkrieg of unreality confuses our ability to understand the difference between reality and fantasy. Our confusions tear away at the fiber of our society, a society which was predicated on the way things were in a time of less people. People scream to be heard over the cacophony of 6 BILLION voices! ... Only the loudest and most EXTREME opinions are ever heard at all. We fight one another to somehow rise to the top of the heap. It is easier to be ugly than beautiful, easier to tear down than to create. In our insecure desperation to prove that we are unique, we choose the easy way. We become serial murderers to get seen on TV, and the rest of us aggrandize these predators! We brainwash ourselves into believing the absurd things we profess in order to preserve some demented sense of uniqueness. In so doing we are falling for our own twisted hype. Suddenly we start believing that eating feces or having sex with the dead is cool ... And if YOU aren't into that ... you must be of less value in comparison to this 'high art' of perversity ... We are creating a new reality which is based more on fantasy than ever before in history. We are the product of the first human experiments with massive media bombardment ... and we are becoming what our minds have invented.

We continue to charge blindly onward, down the path of pathetic self-consumption. We destroy our environment with our ravenous hungers and blanket our earth with our excrement. Mankind's flatulence turns our once blue skies a sickly brown and the fecal matter rains down upon us, turning our planet into a festering sewer. The planet is rebelling against us in order to survive our assaults. Humankind is expendable. Our demise is a good and necessary thing when judged through the eyes of the Earth. Just as we would rid our bodies of an infestation of lice, nature will attempt to unburden itself of us, using any means necessary. In only a few generations, we have developed newer and more malignant antisocial behaviors. The world that you live in today is NOTHING like the world of 50 years ago. The madness is on a geometric rise! All things which serve to cheapen our lives and kill us are escalating. These behaviors are harmful to us, yet good for our planet. Our demise seems to be the natural order of things. Some of the less obvious manifestation of this process of elimination are behaviors that reduce or eliminate reproduction of our species. Sexual aberration, impotence and substance abuse are a few examples. More deadly forms on the rise are violent crimes, suicides, mass murders, serial murders, child murder and abuse, rape and the best one of all ... WAR. Nature brings on natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, droughts and pestilence. We help the process along by making a garbage dump in our own backyards. Global warming, depletion of the ozone layer, acid rain, oil spills and the occasional nuclear meltdown help hasten the inevitable outcome for our species. Diseases like AIDS, incurable TB, heart disease and many forms of cancer are doing their part to reduce the flock. The direct connection to our pollutants are obvious. Insects grow immune to our pesticides, and disease grows immune to our medicines.

Due to our overcrowded situation, we can not properly nourish our people. Poor nutrition and the exposure to a new range of pollutants are changing the overall patterns of human development. In many parts of the world, we are no longer climbing the evolutionary ladder. No longer are we genetically improving our species. In more and more cases, I perceive that we are actually 'devolving.' As BILLIONS more are born into a world of poverty and desperation, we descend further and further into a genetic morass. We are spawning generations of mental and physical defectives, devoid of man's "higher" qualities. These uncaring and unthinking semi-morons know little more than the instinct to survive and reproduce. Morality or ethics are not to be found in the vocabulary of these modern people.

To those without hope, life is worth little. So why NOT steal from thy neighbor? Why NOT torture and mutilate for fun? If it makes you feel strong to make another weak and helpless, why NOT rape and humiliate? And for the ultimate power play, why NOT kill? Television teaches us that we can kill with impunity, so WHY NOT? If we should feel a tinge of guilt or hear the knock of retribution at our door, we need only change the channel or just turn off the set.

Human life is worth less and less as we swarm over the landscapes. Soon it will become abundantly clear that people are worth more dead than alive. There are just too damn many of us! I am not convinced that mankind will disappear from the planet entirely. I think it's possible that mankind may find a way to survive and see the dawn of a brighter day. However, I do NOT think it will happen until the population is greatly reduced. I foresee that a catastrophe will occur to eliminate large numbers of us. This could be by a nuclear war or perhaps a virulent new plague, who knows? Probably something that very few of us will see coming. Hopefully I'll die of old age before it happens.

I want to say that I do not justify or condone murder or suicide or crimes against people, animals or the planet. I am only stating my opinion that more people will kill others and themselves as the population increases. In so doing, they serve as pawns to evolution.

What virtue and nobility is left to humankind should be cherished and nurtured while it still exists.
