throwing stones at my own glass house

Everywhere I go I run into some misanthrope who is feeling really good about talking about how fucked up everything is. Humans are an unstoppable force destroying everything in their path etc. If you know me, you know that there's a big part of me that agrees with this notion, but what's bothersome is the tendency amongst these radicals to talk a hell of a lot about how mankind is the problem with the world, but very little about real solutions. The reason they have no real answer is the same as the reason that the problem exists in the first fucking place: selfishness. These wise motherfuckers talk all about how the human population is choking the earth (true) but they never want to get down to brass tacks about solving it in any practical way (and by practical way i mean shooting themselves in the face). Seriously. The first one of these whining misanthropes who gives their diatribe and then pulls out a pistol and shoots themselves in the face is gonna be my personal hero and will be listed as such on myspace from here on out. I mean really. Put your money (barrel) where your mouth is. I would even be a little refreshed to hear just one of these sonumbitches try to get a group together to save the earth with them (like a bunch of lemmings). Don't even mention Jim Jones to me, that self important ass. I'm talking environmental solutions here, not feeling like a badass because you suckered a bunch of fools. The sick thing about it is that the reason you never hear this sort of thing come from these would be Captain Planets is that they're selfish. It's the same reason people drive cars around and shop at the whatever mart and get things that come in too much packaging. We're all scared of death. At least the regular consumer isn't making a big fucking thing of it. When pressed on why they insist on their food being double packaged, pasteurized and processed, they say because it's safer that way. Less germs. Less bacteria. Less danger of discomfort and death. Funny, this isn't so different from our friend the rebel. The difference is that rather than just accept his or her fear, this motherfucker veils it in something worse: narcissism. Because he or she has had this epiphany, because he or she has not been fooled by the government, the corporations, the evil, the watchdog feels that they have become more valuable than the run of the mill consumer. They can't shoot themselves in the face because then who would tell us all what is wrong with us. Who would guide us toward the light of our bright human future? We certainly couldn't figure that shit out without them. And maybe this is true. From the evolutionary perspective, maybe this all knowing individual is the future of the species. Maybe this person is what we will all one day be. A human disinterested in procreation and preoccupied with sustainability; a biological end of the road. Perhaps we will stop mating for the good of mankind and will devote our child rearing energies to making the earth a great place for everyone to live again. Or maybe we're just gonna keep on using shit up until we've got nothing left to use. Like a bunch of fucking rats. But thank the good lord somebody's here to tell us all how bad it sucks. And though the misanthrope has the solution to the selfishness of mankind, they'll never use their discovery because they're too damned selfish. The misanthrope just may be the salvation of the human species. I just wish they'd get to solving the problem and quit fucking talking about it. I'd do it but i don't want to leave a mess for you all to clean up. I'm selfless, you see.
