When there isn't enough resources for everybody, chaos ensues. You saw what happened in New Orleans after Katrina. And what happens in bad neighborhoods. People will hurt or even kill people to get what they need to survive. And when the global population is so great that the resources of the world can't support it, the same thing will happen.
What can we do to prevent this from happening? Well, there's a limit to what Mother Nature can provide for people. We can't increase that, unless we look to expanding production. But production takes the lives of other animals. And even if we do that, earth is only so big- we'll be forced to stop expanding at some point.
The only real solution is to stop reproducing so quickly. Seven billion people!? People are already complaining about how oil isn't being produced quickly enough to suit humanity. Eventually, more and more resources will end up just like oil. And eventually, they'll become scarce. We just won't be able to support people anymore!
If we slow the growth in population, the longevity of the human race will increase. If we slow the growth in population, we will have more time before such chaos ensues.
Ideally, if we prevent the forthcoming of people, we will want to choose to prevent the worst people from coming to be. But how can we judge beforehand what the child will be like? The only hints we have are the conditions surrounding the new child. If the parents see that the child would be raised in an unsuitable environment in which the child would grow to be heavily flawed, they abort the child. In doing so, they are preventing what they see as a life that would grow to be troubling and problematic for the child itself and for the world around it. This controls the growth of the population, therefore increasing the longevity of the earth, and it tends to help keep the world ridden of low-lived people.
This is why abortion is good for society.
And don't give me "Jesus says so" as a counter-argument.

Dear Soulja Boy
Dear Soulja Boy,
I am writing to inform you that it is okay to pronounce the last letter of a word in the English language. It has occurred to me that you don't pronounce the last letter of any word. I don't know whether or not you are misinformed of the ways of the English language, or you are making some sort of statement. But seriously, it's annoying. Stop.

New discovery:
For common people, +possessions = -creativity
If people are coming up with more and more items with more and more purposes, and they sell them, then the R&D people working for corporations are the ones doing all the thinking. Back in the 1800s, people had to CREATE their own fun. They didn't have ipods or soccer balls. They made up their own games to pass the time. Now that we have all of these recreational items with set purposes, we don't have to create our own fun. Everything is mass-produced-- nobody creates anything anymore except for corporations bearing the purpose of making money.

IT'S OVER!
First semester is OVER! Halle-fucking-lujah! I'm chillin' at home with nothing to do, and loving every minute of it...The only problem is that I have a headache from being sick and from staring at computer screens. Today I went driving around Christmas shopping and taking pictures of signs in DuPage County. Now my eyes are tired as hell- I drove back in rush hour traffic. Traffic would be so much better if they didn't have traffic lights that CHANGE AFTER ONLY FIVE FUCKING SECONDS OF GREEN! Some examples include Route 59 and Aurora Ave and the one at Aurora Ave and Route 34.
Driving through DuPage County is pretty monotonous. A residential area, then a shopping center, a residential area, a shopping center. And the shopping centers all have the same stores. It's like small businesses don't even exist- nothing is unique anymore.

Augh, it's been a while
I went sledding on Sunday with Tyler and Colin, and I was surprised. The hill we went to was really bumpy, and my ass got pummeled landing back on the ground after all the bumps. Colin ramped off of a bump on his snowboard, and flew twenty feet forward into a bush. Today I spent three and a half hours plugging my seventh song into the computer. I found last week that SIBELIUS HAS DISAPPEARED FROM THE COMPUTERS IN THE MUSIC LAB, meaning I CAN'T WRITE ANY MUSIC DOWN ANYMORE. So I had to resort to using a crappy version of Finale Notepad that I downloaded over two years ago. I tried to download an updated version, but it didn't work. So I had to use a crappy old piece of shit program that is so lacking, it's frustrating. You can't switch time or key signatures mid-song! What the shit is that? Triplets don't work properly either. Finals are next week.....sheeeeeyit. I only have two though: Data and ad chem. I'm going to really have to work on that ad chem final.
Look for "Metal Gear Awesome" and other videos by egoraptor. They're really funny.
Final project for Hancock, Ad chem test, and a macro final, all Friday. I need to sleep so I can study.
