A Prayer For World Health Day: Please Send An Asteroid

Praying for an asteroid to hit China and bounce into India could be good for the health of the world.Between them that would marginalize over 2 billion people.It would be like making the 7/10 in bowling or a hole-in-one but Jesus could do it.He didn't mention birth control while on the planet but this could be a catch up move.Considering the plummeting flora and fauna and the past extinctions maybe the only hope is the long shot!

Monsanto,Monkeys & Misanthropy

According to the late, renowned evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould the human is more than 1/2 made of bacteria that is found elsewhere in the natural world. In spite of that physical fact, the Monsanto Chemical Company recently reported record sales of it's herbacide Roundup which also kills insects as an unintended fallout. Monsanto also hailed it's record sales of genetically modified crop seeds like corn and soybeans. These seeds also deprive many insects in the chain of life of food. So what's the human's future with these poisons already killing our relatives?

Meanwhile in India, indigenous monkeys who once lived in rural jungles have seen their space turned into human cities and the monkeys are fighting back by refusing to leave and in some cases harassing the humans! So Indian authorities are sterilyzing the monkeys to mitigate the problem. All told, it's plenty of reason to be more than a little misanthropic. The inevitable coming plague or virus that will reduce our numbers will be somewhat welcome.
