| The beginning of this article is interesting. If I was from the distant future, maybe I'd ask these questions followed by the answers I'm expecting from 2017: Q: Why are people still working? A: You need to work to live. Q: Why do men and women appear so different? A: They are biologically very different. Q: Why are people trying to increase, rather than decrease, the amount of jobs to be done by humans? A: Idiot, clearly we need more jobs, otherwise everyone will be poor! Q: Why are people waiting for signs and lights in metal cages with wheels? A: Those wheels in metal cages are one of our most prolific forms of transportation right now. Q: Why are people eating other animals? A: Who doesn't, meat is tasty! Q: Why do people have different skin color? A: You are racist. Q: Why are some people so round? A: Are you making fun of fat people? Q: Why are some people in a rolling chair all of the time? A: Some people are born with disabilities or break bones. Q: Why are people still cutting other people open to fix them? A: How else do you stop internal bleeding and remove tumors? Q: Why do 51 people decide what happens to 100 people instead of 1 person deciding what happens to 1 person? A: Ever heard of democracy, (unfortunately) the most fair system ever created to date by our founding fathers (who also owned tons of human slaves)? Q: What is a border and how come I can't see it? A: Ever heard of the nation state? You're already subject to it just by being here. Didn't anyone tell you that? Q: Why do people get thrown in cages for misbehaving? A: What else would we do with misfits and dangerous people? |
