28. Except there ARE predators and WE complain about them ad nauseum.

Nature HAS, in fact, provided a way to keep these people out of the gene pool. And although I'm sure this is a joke, the guy who wrote this describes those predators, and even votes for them.

"The Republican healthcare plan - if you get sick, just die. Fast!"

Can't have it both ways. Either every human life has value, OR we have to allow the predators among us to do their job and weed out the sick and weak. The choice is ours, and we have to do one thing or the other - either give up our sentimentality and allow the predators to do what they do, OR we have to build new systems that will allow the planet to support us all without predators among us.
