License to Thrill

Whatever poison's in this bottle will leave me broken sore and stiff. But it's the genie at the bottom who I'm sucking at. He owes me one last wish.

This is a post my friend had on his blog.

This post Is from my friend Chips blog. It's funny
First a little background. I have a retaining wall on my driveway, which is about 3.5-4 feet high depending on location along the wall. Well today as I was coming up the driveway I spooked a rabbit that was sitting in the driveway. Now this unfortunate creature was scared by the prospect of a car hurtling toward it so it of course took off, toward the retaining wall. It jumped the top of the wall, clearing it and plummeted to the other side. Now the rabbit was dazed but appeared okay. This story really has no point other than the fact that Darwin was wrong. Some animals got left out by evolution. Kind of like homo sapiens.

Circa 1900, the average person of luke warm IQ or genetic ability died at a very young age. They just were not smart enough to survive the harsh reality that is life. Fast Forward to a century of medical breakthroughs and liberalism. What do you end up with? 60 year old people who can't take care of themselves. Their poor parent's are forced to take care of them for years and when their parent's die these people are forced upon someone else be it a personal guardian or they become wards of the state. I'm not saying that they have no worth. It's just that has medicine and our superior intellect really furnished us with that much. We have longer work weeks, less free time thanks to virtual chains, and everyone feels disconnected. Those who feel connected to what is going on are by default connected only to themselves. Where has the technology gotten us, as my own hypocrisy reaches a pinnacle as a post this on a digital journal/message board?
