so this is what i think:  if people evolved from some sort of early primate-type thing, same as chimps and monkeys and gorillas and all those other fellows we're said to have shared ancestors with, then the concept of morality is possibly the biggest joke in all of creation...err...evolution.  if im nothing other than an animal, should i not be guided by nothing other than animal instinct?  that would make sense.  so.  animal instinct it is.  what does that entail?  first off, survival of the fittest is kindof a basic principle here.  to obey the natural tendencies of any self-respecting organism would mean leaving all those who are too old, too weak, too stupid, too fat, too slow, too poor in the dust.  not to mention anyone who happened to have a physical disability.  hey, if youre not fit enough to survive on your own, then youre not, well, fit to survive.  theres no place for compassion in the animal kingdom.  second, there is the issue of violence.  my guess is that the black widow spider doesnt have any qualms whatsoever with offing her mate once shes done with him, and if we're just fellow creatures on this crazy planet called earth, why shouldnt we do the same?  it would sure put a quick end to the rising divorce rate.  speaking of which, sexual behaviour would be transformed, if only everyone considered themselves to be the animals they really are.  all this ridiculous talk about cheating on your partner would have to stop, because...is the desire to reproduce not entirely natural?  following my animal nature would mean having sex with every willing candidate i was attracted to, really.  monogamy would become a non-word.  and hey, as long as we're on the whole having-sex-with-whoever-you-want-is-entirely-natural theme, why not toss in some rape and abuse for added flavour.  its normal, isnt it?  people just happen to have this thing called sex drive, and hey, if they cant find a willing partner, you cant blame them for grabbing the nearest fellow beast that happens to be roaming the earth.  having a legal system is ridiculous, and really doesnt make much sense, considering that we're all just doing what feels right to our animal selves anyway.  besides, who's to say what is and what isnt acceptable behaviour?  we're animals, for (pardon the expression) goodness' sake.  personally, i think all you humans out there who are still clinging to the whole right/wrong idea should really get over it.  this is the 21st century we're living in here.


my Excessive Sarcasm Alarm is flashing angrily at me.  its okay, little red light, i promise to stop and make up for my bad behaviour with lots and lots of those marshmallow strawberry things, just for you.  and possibly for anyone i may have offended.  but not likely.  i rarely apologize for these sorts of things.
