We're the pets of the government (Population Control, Part 2)

It's always a wonderful day when you start thinking about population control for no apparent reason. It was on my mind so much that I couldn't get to sleep. Know why? Because we're just the pets of the government. Really, that's what we are! Especially in any country where population controls are in place.

You can say it's for a completely legitimate reason, I know there are many that will say that, but it's the same thing people say about their pets. Get your dog and cats spayed and neutered -- can't have those things running around getting knocked up can we? So we do what's best to control their populations. And governments decide that their pets are out of control, so they go and pass laws and such to keep them in line. We're just pets. The cute little furry things that they pet every so often so we know we're loved. And sometimes, if we're really obedient and don't hump their legs, we might get a few scraps tossed at us.

When did this happen? When did humans get pushed aside as equals and made into the animals of the governments -- that are supposedly run by humans! What makes them better than us? Being elected? Well that makes about as much sense as saying that the rich have the right to poke the middle class and lower people with sticks because it makes them laugh. Although based on some of the so-called rich people's attitudes, it makes you wonder.

So as the new pets of the world, soon our owners will decide we like sex too much. Oh they'll try the "just don't do it!", or try to make condoms so expensive kids can't buy them. Then when STD's are on the rise they'll think of something else. Chances are they'd look at history and think, what a minute, we already tried that... And then they will be down to only a few choices. Kill people, force sterilization, or just dose everyone and "let god sort it out". As I sit here looking at the yellow-looking pop in my glass, it makes me wonder what's really in it.
