Of Cyclones and Earthquakes

The toll taken by Myanmar’s cyclone and China’s earthquake is horrific, but so necessary until humankind advances to a genuine reverence for all life. It is the same principle which questions the authenticity of the “pro-life” movement in this country that is blind to the anti-life realities of procreation unchecked. Jesus’ salt-of-the-earth analogy was very appropriate to his time, because salt was such a rare and desired commodity that it served as currency in the first-century. Salt is so commonplace today that it has become a dietary no-no that has little or no economic value whatsoever. So it is with the ever increasing human population. What are a few hundred thousand lives here or there when subtracted from exponentially increasing billions? I work forty hours a week in an environment where children are literally nothing more than chattel exploited for their income producing potential to sub-humans that reproduce at will with subsidized impunity. Until we collectively reach that point where every life is sacred, we’ll need brutal natural selection to weed out the increasingly invaluable crop of humans.
