I can’t help it. I have to comment on the (forthcoming) genocide in Sudan. It’s exactly what happened with Rwanda: UN people talked about it a bit, expressed some concern, but generally didn’t give a fuck. They might send some troops, but they will be too few or do nothing, or both. The killing will happen, I’m certain.

It’s because we’re complacent. We don’t care. There’s no economic gain if anyone goes in. We can’t just stop genocides on the grounds of being caring, concerned human beings. Maybe you’ve forgotten what it was to be human - innately evil and greedy. Evil overcomes the good because the good don’t want to fight and defend themselves (they think it’s unnecassary). The good guys need to fight hate with hate, evil with evil, fire with fire, whatever you want to call it. The only way to stop those people from killing millions in Sudan is to kill them.

Maybe we’re evil now because only the evil people survived by taking advantage of good people. Maybe because we let sin into the world against God’s command. Or maybe because being evil is too easy, and we’re lazy. Plus we like it. Fact of the matter is, we’re mostly evil. Let’s not be naive about it - do something. One person can’t do much, but then where does change start?

I gather prime examples from around the world that show just how pathetic we really are. My comments are mostly sarcastic, so if you think I must be joking, I am. Serious comments are in brackets.

- Homeland Security is making your parks in Washington, DC less secure. Awesome.

- AIDS, that sexually-transmitted disease that kills around half a million people a year in the US alone (source), won’t be cured so long as we can help it. We LIKE this shit. We don’t want no “vaccine”. Fuck no, we enjoy our stupidity.

- While we’re at it, let’s kill technological innovation. Let’s create the Induce Act. [Fucking corporations... listen to the people.]

- Because we’re so fucking badass, we’re going to take over other nations with our badassity, like Iraq. We’re gonna make that place way more badass. [I love killing merciless tyrants, but I hate doing so to make matters worse and for all the wrong reasons (oil - mm mm good).]

- This still isn’t enough sucking. So let’s kill the whales, the biggest and one of the most fascinating creatures on the fucking planet. [It's inevitable.]

- Monolithic corporations just aren’t big enough. How about merging two powerful companies into one that will be able to completely destroy anyone who has better ideas and at the same time keep everyone in the stone age so that we can control all creative output so that the [useless] middlemen will take everyone’s money! Yay my dream came true!

- Also, we must punish anyone who dare to show people the truth about how insecure electronic voting is.

Looks like they’ll be a reality soon, despite our cries. The corporations have made a unanimous vote of no-confidence in us, labeling us criminals that deserve to rot in hell for all eternity. Or buy their products, but only use them how they say we can… even after they have our money.

Anyway. I was wondering: why can’t the clerk disable the RFID after the customer has paid for the product? They do this in clothing stores: there’s a sensor that goes off if someone leaves the store with it, and these sensors are pinned onto clothing but removed after the transaction has taken place. There has to be a simple way to disable RFID tags. As it is, the tags stay in place which makes it possible to find out who has what and where. That’s too much power that can (and will) be abused. Fuck that.
