I love memories, and homosexuality
I was looking at my eBay feedback profile, and looked at the feedback profile of the first person who had left me feedback. This person didn't rip me off but ended up being banned from eBay, and I checked out the date of the last feedback he had gotten before being banned, and it was Jun 2001. This didn't really cause anything in my mind, and then I checked out when he had left the feedback for me. May 2001. And that triggered a memory of me using one of the computers at Orme in the library when a whole bunch of people were taking refuge inside because of the rain, and I remembered the light of the room and what it looked like outside (wet and cloudy) and in the same weather with me upstairs in the library sitting in one of the carrels writing a poem. This poem would eventually go to Charlotte, and the rest is irrelevant, but I do remember that I was nervous when I was writing it. That weather was good, though.
On an unrelated note, we no longer have sex for the survival of our species. It's either for "fun" or for babies. It's not "we need to do this to further the human race's timeline." And it's not the last simply because we DON'T need to have anymore babies. If half the people on this planet didn't have ANY kids at any point in their lifetime, the generation the other half birthed would be much better off. Things like voluntary human extinction are fabulous ideas, because not only will they never be fully carried out, but if its followers were at least 25% of the US, there'd be a wonderful difference. Of course, there are effectively two types of people--smart and dumb. And the smart people would be the ones not reproducing. And the dumb ones would be the ones who insisted on having kids.
Let me address a very sensitive subject--our planet is already overpopulated, and American people who birth (not adopt) more than two kids are NOT helping the situation. And I know that these families love kids, and that's why they have so many. How many of those families, though, INSIST on having more than two kids? And why are they insistent upon that?
What I hope is that smart parents are birthing small smart families as an evolutionary tactic, not dumb parents birthing huge dumb families. I said that as inoffensively as possible, and I'm not calling anyone in particular dumb (much less anyone on my friends list). Because the dumb parents are birthing huge dumb families, and it's going to get to a point where we need to combat it. Meaning smart families are going to have to start having more kids. And dumb families already outnumber smart families. I'm worried.
What would I suggest? Encourage homosexuality! THERE'S YOUR SOLUTION!
