The Blog of the Evil Jermil Sadler

Man… I was born at the perfect time!!! If I had been born just one generation earlier, I’d be so screwed right now. With computers and all. If I was like 45 instead of 25, I most likely wouldn’t know how computers work AT ALL!!!

I was lucky be born right as the personal computer became popular. I remember being a lil kid and my parents had a Commodore 64 that we hooked into the TV with the rabbit ears and I could play Space Invaders. Then they upgraded from that and got an Intel 386. This was back when I was too young to realize that the computer was a big deal.

But fast-forward to today. Anytime I want to know anything about anything, I hop on the computer and Google it. I get the answer in far less than a minute. But that’s only if I have to get up and go to the computer. I can do that exact thing on my CELL PHONE now. I have the internet in the same thing that I use to call my parents! How UNBELIEVABLE is that???

But we take these things for granted. Imagine growing up in the 70s and you want some pizza. You have to get up and flip through a fat yellow book while getting ink on your fingertips and dropping the book on your big toe. Now you do a google search.

Remember when we had to do book reports??? I know I had to actually go to the Detroit Public Library and get the book. Then read it and write about it. That’s over Johnny!

You can go to Amazon or eBay and get them to mail you the book overnight! Or you can download the e-book and read it on your computer while you click back and forth to check your email and facebook. But then you’d still have to read it. Hmmmm…

You can search in Google for “book report” and “Atlas Shrugged” and get a book report there I’d bet. Or you can read someone else’s summary and make a report out of that. You could probably find every edition of Cliff’s Notes for every book that was made and read that online.

I don’t know. I think we’re extremely lucky to be the first generation to be born with internet. Right now, the internet is flying around in the same air that you breathe. All you need is something to interact with it and you have all the questions, answers, and porn you could ever need EVER!

It’s just amazing. 2 thumbs up for the internet.

I heard yesterday about PETA asking the ice cream folks Ben and Jerry’s to replace the cow’s milk that they use with human breast milk. When I first heard it, I didn’t want to believe it. It sounded so absurd that I figured there was no way anyone would ever consider asking anyone something like that.

I did a google search and saw that it was very true. I also found it on PETA’s website.

My initial reaction was pure astonishment. Then I thought about all the other things going on in the world right now and figured that it’s not too far outside the realm of possibility these days.

With the stock market PLUNGING 777 points yesterday (which is more points than the day planes flew into buildings and left everyone frozen across the country), a bumbling hockey mom from Alaska running for Vice President of this country, and NASA finding snow on Mars, I figured anything is possible.

But then I looked at it from a more objective point of view.

After watching a video on how humans depend so much and completely abuse animals in the name of entertainment, food, clothes, and so on, I took a different stance on the issue.

It really doesn’t make much sense for humans to continue to drink milk after we are grown. No other mammal continues to drink milk their entire life. The mother stops producing milk after a certain time. That’s about the time humans should stop drinking milk.

Why are cows the animal to torture when it comes to getting milk? In the video, it was stated that the normal life expectancy for a cow is 20 years. However, the cows that are used for milking are kept on their feet and milked constantly for their entire life. These unfortunate cows live about 4 years until they die from exhaustion. That meat is then used in fast food restaurants. YUM!!!

I decided last night that I agree with PETA. If humans want their ice cream and their disgusting milk that most people’s stomachs can’t digest, the milk should come from humans!

The letter to Ben and Jerry’s stated that the Swiss company gets 75% of their milk from human breast milk. That would be an AMAZING start for companies in the US to make an effort to get anywhere near that point.

But what about the possible diseases that can be spread from breast milk?
Those cows aren’t the healthiest during their 4 years but no one gets deadly ill from their milk.

Well, HIV can be passed through breast milk. We don’t want to get HIV from milk do we???
It can also be passed in BLOOD and humans transfuse that into other humans all the time. I’m sure a way already exists to test milk for viruses and diseases.

I’m sure no one can imagine getting all milk from human breasts. But if you asked someone back in the 1930s and 1940s if they thought smoking would ever be banned from the workplace or a restaurant, they would deny that would ever be a possibility. And look where we are today.

One small step today of having Ben and Jerry’s get 5% of their milk from human breasts could one day save millions of cows from torture and premature death!

Did you ever realize how when kids get older, they start being able to hide some of the the bad things they do from their parents?

When you were in elementary school and you did something bad, the teacher told your parents. Even in elementary school your parents found out somehow. But as you grow up, you are able to do bad things and actually get away with it.

I was thinking about this today and how it becomes possible to get away with doing slightly bad things and the people that MADE YOU don’t find out about it.

First I thought that maybe you get older and smarter and you figure out how to do certain things without authority figures finding out. But I don’t think that helps too much because my parents really only found out about the really big stuff. But the little stuff like riding my bike around the neighborhood with a friend on trash day and kicking trashcans over, they never found out about that.

I would think that I’d be more lax about cleaning up my tracks when, if they found out, I’d have very little to lose. When I told my dad I kicked over trashcans as a youth, he laughed with me.

I think the catalyst to kids being able to get away with stuff is money. When you’re young, your parents haven’t started giving you allowance. So you can’t really get yourself out of any trouble if once it appears. Once you start getting allowance and you decide you want to steal candy from the store, if you get caught, you can offer to pay for it and they may let you go.

Once you’re in high school and you have a car and a part-time job, you can get a speeding ticket, go to the police station, and pay them yourself without your parents ever knowing… at least until it’s time for them to pay insurance again.

I wonder if parents didn’t let their kids have jobs in high school and didn’t give them allowances, would kids act better? Also, would it increase or decrease the lust for money that the majority of this country has today?

I think it would increase the desire for money because the longer you wait to have something, the more you want it once you get it!

If you’re constantly seeing people on the television with money and enjoying their lives while you’re living a boring life in high school, don’t you think that you’d want more and more money once you get it? People are like that now but I think it would be much worse if that were the case.

In summation, I do declare that the love of money is not only the root of evil. It is also what thrusts children into a world where people get away with quite a few of the bad things they do. Money steals your child’s innocence.
