How about this one. As a member of the lifeform club your reason for
being is to survive and REPRODUCE. Those are the rules, they are the
only reason you are here at all, and the only way you'll exist passed
the trivially brief lifespan...
Well that was the old way anyway. Now some of override that and are off
trying to save the world, and consider investing that much time in a
couple kids to be a horrible violation of "the needs of the many,
outweigh the needs of the few, or ME ME ME"
It's with Bill, back to ripping on computer protocols, human protocols
just make me want to take a long walk on a short peer...
