death....in a good way
I was thinking about death today. This probably started when Adobe Illustrator flashed its "unexpected runtime error" on the screen and promptly shut itself off when I tried to save my file. There went a few hours of hard work right out the window (no pun intended), and so started my thought process for this blog.
I thought about dying for a good cause. Would I give up my life for something that would make a difference in the world? I'm not going to get into a Christian salvation debate, however if anyone feels the need to post their views, feel free. I'm talking about me personally, and what I'd do for the sake of the world.
I feel good about recycling, using enviro-friendly paper towels, and not letting the water running when I'm brushing my teeth. Why? Because these little events are helping create less waste for the environment. If more people did this, the world would be better off. Too many people are producing way too much waste, and the earth is already overcrowded (no seriously, it is).
What else could I do to help the earth NOT to deteriorate? Well, if I just dropped off the face of the earth then I'd contribute the most. Would I do this? Probably not, but I'd like to think that I would. Maybe if I did, it would start a trend- some environmental fanatics would realize that they could help save the earth by killing themselves, and therefore not using any resources and causing the further degeneration of our planet.
However, then I realized that the uber tree-huggers are the ones that are trying to save the planet in the first place. We need to get rid of the assholes driving Hummers and sucking down 60 gallons a gas a week so they can drive to Wal-Mart every night to buy their kids new play station games.

Look at it like this:
If you kill yourself, that's just one person. If you go on a rampage and kill 50 dregs of society, it's way better.
I'll assume by the baby delivery line that that's deb...True, I could manipulate others into killing themselves. I just have to convince them that they want to die, or hire someone rather skilled to get rid of them.
Ben you have me thinking of kamakazi pilots now....
on an entirely different note- ben/deb- does Thomas have many Dr. Seuss books? I think I start pampering the child some more.
No, and he needs some. I'm a little disappointed in his Uncle Ray, who I was just sure would have coughed up One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish by now.
I suspect whenever ray buys a copy, he loves it too much to let it go.
Dave, the real irony is how many trees died because people liked that story and decided to print it. No, I still think it's much easier to kill someone than to plant trees. You can be done in seconds! Unless you count the clean up, hiding the body, destroying the evidence...eh...maybe I should plant trees instead.
Also, that story could have been much funnier if it was translated from French by Peter Boyle instead of Peter Doyle.
