Humanity itself maybe?

Humanity? Go visit ogrish.com. The brutality videos are my favorite. Then tell me what you think about the human race.

I'd take 50 hours a week of wage slavery in a cubicle so I can watch my plasma TV, over real slavery, or even 15 hours a day out in the fields so i have enough food to survive.

But I hear the average hunter-gatherer only had to work about 3 hours a day to provide himself with the necessities of life.

Throughout history people have problems, and people like to be distracted from them. What do you think the gladiator games, olympics, chariot racing, or even religion were for?

True enough. I guess it's always sucked, period.
