Asshat Quote of the Day



"More importantly, my children and I not only trust my husband, but know that he would never do anything to not only disappoint our family, but disappoint the people of America. He's a man of great character." - Cindy "got any Vicodin?" McCain
Note: That's not a quote from McCain's first wife. Cindy is the poon that Maverick was dicking while married to his first wife.

And she shouldn't be particularly surprised that "Straight Shooter" (which he apparently is) McCain would be humping another hot young blonde.

Isn't it weird, the men that women will fuck, when the man has money and/or power? Doesn't it make their skin crawl?

That behavior is all about instinct, all about brain chemicals.

Somewhere, years ago, I read that male gorillas will occasionally make a surprise raid and kill a female gorilla's offspring. After a few days, according to the story, the bereaved female leaves her old haunts and goes to live with the killer male.

We find the whole idea repugnant, but that's what she HAS to do in order to live on and make new offspring.

In short, she needs to propagate her genes "at any cost." However the mechanics work out for any given species, that female would not even be around if some such mechanisms had not functioned in her parents, and their parents...

Sometimes I find it helps to think of evolution as a process of elimination, rather than as "survival of the fittest."

Call it "non-survival of the non-survivable," if you like. And it's usually not a pretty thing to watch. In a few specific circumstances long-term survival of a genome can favor cooperation and altruism, but usually... just the opposite.

That's why most of human history is so unrelievedly disgusting. And why females fuck the powerful. Maybe it does disgust them. But then I've done some pretty disgusting things in furtherance of (what my primitive brain perceived as) reproduction.

I'ver never done anything I'd term as "disgusting", but then I really have no interest in reproduction as such. heh

lucky me

What I loosely called "disgusting" behavior need not involve reproduction per se. Any strong instinct can and will produce actions likely to appear, let us say, counterintuitive to a random human whose brain chemistry happened to be at baseline with respect to certain powerful (but purely endogenous) mind-altering substances.

Consider, as a fictional example, "Lord of the Flies," a novel which did not, in my recollection, depict any behavior directly related to reproduction.
