Social Darwinism

That's right. You've heard it in your Soc 101 lectures, you've seen it on the History channel, and you've experienced it in your everyday life. You may not know it, but your entire life is dictated by Social Darwinism. The reason I am talking about this now is actually because of my Soc 101 lecture today, in which our professor spoke of evolutionary sociology and all of that jazz. All I have to say is that:

If life is based on
Survival of the fittest
America's screwed

When I say fit, I, of course, mean physically fit. So pretty much disregard everything I said above.

Seriously, have you seen the obesity epidemic of late? It's so bad that people are spending more money for less product, having been disillusioned that these items are any more healthy than the standard product (well they are technically, since there is less of them... but you shouldn't need them- ever heard of plastic baggies? Ziploc, Glad, you pick.). This would be an opportune time to insert an "our nation's so fat" joke, but that would be in bad taste (so fat that coastal states are flooding themselves). I guess what I'm trying to get at is that our nation is not physically fit (and as such, ironically, would not qualify for the Boy Scouts who vow to stay fit) and therefore would not survive in a would of survival of the fittest. Why am even talking about this? Guess my soc. lectures are rubbing off on me after all the talking about senior citizens and bingo (don't ask).

New paragraph! That was a long one. You see, it's not that Americans aren't hardworking- we are. It's just that at the same time we find ways to cut corners (For instance, fast food), which ultimately diminishes an individual's physical prowess. Dang I am really rambling and it's not even funny... what is wrong with me? Don't answer that please.

Haiku!

Concerning hobbits:
Fat, lazy, yet hardworking,
Like Americans

Just look at all of the parallels. Now, however, is not the time for me to showcase my sad (or impressive, but most likely the former) obsession with Tolkien. 

And thus ends an overly long post.


That title is boring. I should change it. But I won't.

Fin.
