It's 4.30 am, I'm downloading Pet Shop Boys music and Moby is ringing in my ears.

Yep, I'm off my rocker.

Anybody wants to help me design a serviceable template? I've just realised that reading my own blog requires an awful lot of scrolling, and nobody likes doing an awful lot of anything.

"Everything you do in life is probably insignificant, but it is important that you do it anyway." -Ghandi

How true. You could talk about how you're never going to use what you learn in school in the real world, or how wearing your pants at your knees and your skirt twenty fingers above your knees is an act answerable only to yourself, but this only demonstrates how easy it is to screw your life up. Suppose you get caught for inappropriate attire. Suppose you refuse to do anything about it. Suppose you get expelled for it. Suppose this creates a new fad for new, shorter pants that you only wear from the knee down. Suppose pants producers now save money since these pants require only half the material. Suppose everyone starts wearing these pants. Suppose these pants constrict movement, if you dont believe me try wearing panats at your knees and running your 2.4. Suppose everyone then becomes handicapped as a result.

Yep, it's the theory of chaos. Face it, chaos is everywhere you go. Due to uniqueness issues in each and every person, even an orderly society would be chaotic to the individual person since almost everyone is not allowed to be himself. Such is the price of order in the society. The worst part? The higher-ups don't even flinch when persented with the option. To be fair, however, these higher-ups are only allowed to decide the lives of millions of other people due to their ability to comform to another senseless system. They say that respect has to be earned, and I'm sure sitting in an office collecting salaries with figures nicer than all the supermodels in the world combined and only coming out when it's election time garners our respect really well. At least policeman and firemen actually, y'know, do things. The ironic part is that these are the very people who make the statement at the top of this section hold true.

I've said before that to command a high salary you need to be at the top of a pile of other people. Guess that works for idiots too.

SHANGHAI, China - China slaughtered 50,000 dogs in a government-ordered crackdown after three people died of rabies, sparking unusually pointed criticism in state media Tuesday and an outcry from animal rights activists.

Health experts said the brutal policy pointed to deep weaknesses in the health care infrastructure in China, where only 3 percent of dogs are vaccinated against rabies and more than 2,000 people die of the disease each year.

The five-day slaughter in Mouding county in Yunnan province in southwestern China ended Sunday and spared only military guard dogs and police canine units, state media reported.

Dogs being walked were seized from their owners and beaten to death on the spot, the Shanghai Daily newspaper reported. Led by the county police chief, killing teams entered villages at night creating noise to get dogs barking, then beat the animals to death, the reports said.

Owners were offered 63 cents per animal to kill their own dogs before the teams were sent in, they said.

Just a small piece of the entire article. I guess China really does hate dogs. Why bother with vaccines when a stick is just as effective?
