[Anyone] The New 7 Deadly sins

[J Mac]

Who picked these supposed 7 deadly sins? 
MikeinTaos?
I mean, hey, what's wrong with taking drugs?  
I LIKE caffeine!

And what's wrong with this human experimentation?
It's better than using other animals; they don't make very accurate medical models.  
Also, there are simply too many damned humans.  
More tigers, I say, and fewer humans!

And what the heck is "financial gluttony"?  
Eagerness to earn money?
Enjoyment of the capacity to purchase stuff?

I don't even know what "social injustice" is.  
I hope it doesn't mean something like "unfairness."  
I don't think any animal species has ever enjoyed any notable measure of "fairness;" 
it's certainly never been a significant characteristic of any large human society, 
and on a planet infested with six and a half thousand million humans, it's going to be increasingly rare.

My own cardinal deadly sin, human overpopulation, didn't even make the list!
