The Human Race
I wasn't sure where to put this topic so here seemed the best choice.
I don't know how all of you feel, but I love the things we can do in this day and age but can't help worry for what is in line for us as a race, species, planet, etc. We can reach out and touch virtually anybody, anywhere on the globe (and outer space too) yet we can't beat famine, natural disasters or wars.
I've been single the past few years (by choice more than options) and have loved it but I do still look at women as I drive by. There has been more than one occasion where I was checking out the rear of a great looking body, only to drive by and notice she was maybe in her early teens. Just the thought of it makes me sick (no I'm not a predator or sexual deviant) but whenever it does happen I feel like a turd for admiring what I thought was an adult that turned out to be a child. I've also noticed that I went from being one of the taller men around (a shade under 6') to averrage height to shorter than the croud over the course of my lifetime. I'm not shrinking, the population is outgrowing me. I've been in a convenience store or McDonalds and was well over 2' shorter than many of the guys there, it's shocking.
Our youth doesn't look as youthful IMO as we did when we were their ages. Kids are becoming aware of their sexuality before they turn 10 instead of hitting puberty, some are even hitting puberty at or before 10. Is it just me or does it seem unnatural or constructed by us in some way?
I know that this is a time in History where Adolf Hitler would have felt most at home, his Aryan <sp> Race is everywhere you look. Hell, all he'd have to do is invade a high school instead of trying to take over the world.
