The Evolution of Evil Men

Power, money, and sex corrupt. Corruption is when men are willing to break rules or laws to obtain these things. The most talented of corrupt men achieve corruption in the highest of places. If within a body such as a corporation or government it is known that opportunity for such things exist. Corrupt men seeking for such things will begin to compete with one another for position. And as they say, may the best man win, or in this case the most effectively evil and ruthless man win. When lawless men compete with other lawless men, it is the most cunning and ruthless that will win. Because of this an environment is created where corruption is able to evolve into the most diabolical evils. Hitler would seem like a real anomoly otherwise. I don't think there are many Hitlers out there. However the nature of our government and power causes the few potential items out there to compete with one another and evolve and grow until the most evil man comes out on top and you get a Hitler. That is why society must be careful whom they allow to hold positions of power. That is why it is necessary to have educated citizens and that is why it is necessary for the government to be subject to every form of scrutiny. Otherwise you create an atmosphere like a cancer where finally the most evil, intelligent, ruthless man emerges wearing the gauntlet of power and all that you hold dear as a society will be destroyed. It can happen anywhere and will.

My Chiropractor Warned Me About This...

My chiropractor grumbled to me while he was working on my shoulder, "people don't change". He was talking about his obnoxious father in law. He said you just can't change people, people don't change. I was really offended. I was really bothered by what he said. It really went against everything that I believed about life...when I was twenty.

A few years later and you know, I am really disappointed with people. Deep down I am really disappointed with the quality of people that I've met and found in the world. When I was young I believed in people. I loved people. I thought there were people in the world worth knowing, worth becoming friends with. But I got to know some of them. I became friends with a lot of them. I've known a lot of people. It's funny the way that it's turned out to be. It's really odd that what's expected has become so uniform. I don't know why it is, but the whole world sometimes seems to be made up of morally, mentally useless people. People who don't think, don't care. People you couldn't have an interesting or meaningful conversation with if the fate of the universe depended on it.

I really don't bother with people much anymore because I know how it will turn out. I can't stand having friends anymore because I know how it will turn out. People really are people. You can't change them. They don't change. I don't expect much from them. I know how they will behave. I know what they'll do.

If the world needed a big change, and it does, it's not going to get it. I guarantee it. We're not going to change. I'd bet my life on it. I wish we would, but we won't. That's just the way it is.
