Hehe, wonderful weekend. One of the best in a looong while, actually.. I love my friends. Totally. Ahhh <3.

But while doing the probstats papers & researching experiments...
Humans just scare the crap out of me. I'm sorry, but no other sentient beings mess with each other without generally having a legitimate reason. Being inconveniently there when you find out bad news is no reason to destroy anything. Being female does not disable me from being able to head a family, and I despise that fact being used against me. Thank you, mother, for being an aristocratic pig. Thank you father, for always stepping in where my mom feels too unladylike, for a lady would never physically harm another.

Speaking of messed up humans, whilst doing my probstats papers, I ran across an alarming page HERE. If you look up medical experiment on google, you get all these horrific things done to humans over the years, mostly nonconsensual and whatnot. Racist, bigoted pigs, each and everyone of them. What seriously scares me is that the SAME man that injected senile black women with live cancer cells without telling them that he's injecting that later becomes the president of the American Cancer Society. Or that people inserted catheters into the hearts of hour old babies and held them upside down. Or oh wait, the best. Scientists were working trying to find a vaccine for Hepatitis B - took the disease and cultivated in immunosuppressed chimps, and then asked for PROMISCUOUS homosexual to test the vaccine on. Forgive me for possibly taking a faulty leap of faith, but erm, monkeys can get SIVS. It's theorized that HIV came from a mutation of that. With a whole bunch of horny guys running around with that...just augh. AIDS, yum. WTF? Explain, please. I know it's all in the name of research, and perhaps he felt that Machiavellian and that the end justifies the means... but it still scares me out of my mind. I'm generally a pacifist, but I'd hunt these guys down with my bare hands if I could, give them an idea of all the possible things they're effing up... There's so many scientists I know that couldn't give a damn about their subjects. Objectivity can be a great thing, but you can't lose sight of yourself! aughhh.

I don't particularly like emotions. Humans disgust me. The allure of science so great, but the repercussions, foul and freakish. Anyone in the mood for hermitude?

...I really need to start doing my hw. It's 3AM. There seems to be a slight problem =/
