Still shaking.

This tragic earthquake in Japan is making me aware of all kinds of things. First that there are too many people in the world. Earth is too damned crowded. If there were fewer of us, we would all live better and not have to think so much about the poor and the hungry. Much of the blame for this goes to religion, mostly the Roman Catholic Busybodies, and their insane need to promote procreation. I am sure there are millions of women and men who did not want and could not afford the child or children they popped into the world, but of course they didn't have the knowledge of means to practice birth control, especially with al the tut-tutting zealots who were so busy making sure they never did. The earthquake is also making it clear that we cannot experience true empathy. We can watch the suffering and kind of imagine what it would be like, but we cannot put ourselves in someone else's shoes and truly appreciate the horror of suddenly being thrown from your home or immersed in a sudden wave of water filled with cars, lumber and dead and dying people. If we could feel true empathy, we wouldn't be able to watch the news as it would leave us constantly frightened and devastated. Other thoughts? Nuclear energy is the stupidest idea that man has ever come up with, and one of these days, hopefully not soon, we will realize what fools we were to let these greedy asshole power companies talk us into it. When that day comes, we would all gladly give up our elecronic toys and electric-powered products if we could get rid of the painful boils on our bodies, the constant feelling of nausea, and the fear of imminent death. Too dramatic? Have you ever read about Chernobyl?
