Savages
Mike Joyce | April 1, 2009Here’s the deal, I don’t understand people. Over the past few months the world has been riddled with examples of people demonstrating total savagery. Austie and I had over and over again realized that the vast majority of humanity has this overwhelming urge to totally screw over everyone else.
The first example of this that I can remember making the conclusion about was the story about the giant oil tanker that was stolen by Somali Pirates a few months back. Now, the piracy itself is pretty ruthless – but it has a very clear goal. The dudes want some sweet moola, and uncle rico ain’t giving it up without a fight, hence the kidnapping of uncle rico’s sweet crude. What really interested me about the piracy was the fact that the Muslim community in Mogadishu decided to attack the pirates. One would think that the reason that they would risk thier lives would be so they could get in on some of the sweet crude. That way they could sell it to the white man and buy his 13 wifes and 4 children a few bowls of rice.
