Good thing I'm the only one still in the office here.

Thanks, Amara, I do find this kind of article very interesting. I think maybe part of our problems today stem from the fact that, like other animals we are designed to compete for territory etc., and let weaker individuals die out of the gene pool. But survival strategies and traits that worked so well when our country needed self-sufficient pioneers to go out to the frontier are a lot less helpful now that most of us live in overcrowded cities.
So true. I guess that's why some people believe that the government has to step in. Unless we learn to cooperate with each other soon, I'm afraid we are going to overpopulate and pollute our planet to the point of no return.

I went to get a picture of myself as a cat. Since I can't get into SL, I haven't really been paying attention to views, as . . no new pictures. I had 169 views on December 3rd. On December 4th I had 1,713 views.

Oh look, I'm on the rezzable gallery page (with Mistress).

Right, picture of me as a cat . . .

Almost everyone is going to put taking care of their own family first and I'm afraid the less prosperity there is to go around the more easily government officials are to corrupt and the more likely it is that really competent people will go for private sector salaries...

This is so adorable!!!

*meows, purring loudly*

This picture is so adorable!

/me wave hand slowly back and forth.
I am not the letcherous cad you have heard about.



But actually ... That's a good question. Where do all the sexy nekos hangout. I just want to know for curosity's sake.

Very nice! Thanks for sharing!

No - that's me!

Ok the adorable pictures are coming too fast. I have to get back to work.

You might want to double check the spelling... (me laughs affectionately)

Please.

Let it rest.

2000 - .9% to charity
2001 - .5% to charity
2002 - .4% to charity
2003 - 1.4% to charity
2004 - 1.2% to charity
2005 - 5% to charity
2006 - 6% to charity


That is pathetic. In the 25 years since I graduated from college, I have never given less than 12% a year to charities, and many years it has been closer to 18%.

This simply hilites even more how the really really rich only pretend to care and give back.

You graduated collage 3 years after you were born?

If everyone were like you - like most of us here, I suspect, the world would be a happier place.

/me smiles and bats her eyes.

Natural Selection- we are animals, exactly, though a tad more "civilised".

It is because we also have the intelligence to affect our environment and thus strengthen and better indulge our compassionate sides that our cities are over crowded.

We do co-operate - it is our herd animal behaviour that guarantees that. It's in our genes- we are what we are no matter what we try to do to bend it. We are also competitive- another survival trait.
The planet will take care of that too you know... Black Death, Plague, War... think of them as another aspect of Natural Selection- Gaea taking back Her own for those that believe in that sort of thing. Thing is, overpopulation needs an escape valve- a culling as it were- it is cold, it is heartless and no one wants to be the one who falls- but it will happen if we - AS INDIVIDUALS - do not prevent it. Yes we need government- not to step in- but to guide. It SHOULD be to an individual's credit and honor that he/she chooses the best path and learns to live or die by their decisions- True Anarchy- the individual choosing for himself. Not having choices hoisted upon them. But we all know that too is a Pollyanna dream- we hope to strive for the betterment of self, at least some do- but it's a fine line.
And we come back always to, "We are only human."

LOL...thanks Yosef
