We have purchased our continued existence with the currency of life. We sacrifice those lives in order that the rest may continue.

Uncountable billions of organisms die by disease so that earth is not over populated with one species, which unbalances our ecosystem. But then humans decided to get smart and invented medicine, our most effective way of combating death.

Our world's population's growth:

Year	Population
1	200 million
1000	275 million
1500	450 million
1650	500 million
1750	700 million
1804	1 billion
1850	1.2 billion
1900	1.6 billion
1927	2 billion
1950	2.55 billion
1955	2.8 billion
1960	3 billion
1965	3.3 billion
1970	3.7 billion
1975	4 billion
1980	4.5 billion
1985	4.85 billion
1990	5.3 billion
1995	5.7 billion
1999	6 billion
2006	6.5 billion

In the past century (about as long as we've had conventional medicine), our population has doubled every 50 years, something considered (in comparison to our past) exponentially ridiculous.

And now we've grown into a more advanced race. We've advanced to the point where we no longer need to pay with our lives in order for our continued existence. (Instead, we pay with the lives of everything else around us)

We've advanced to the point where if we dedicate the effort, we don't need to needlessly waste lives, and we can live in harmony with the world. If we choose.

We've advanced to the point where we, as a race, no longer need wars to progress.

Competition has always been a crutch for progression. But now that we can walk without it, we stupidly choose to stick with old habits.

We dedicate an unproportionate amount of money into war efforts, while in comparison next to none towards research on clean energy.

We don't need war over petty issues. We need to *insert expletive*-ing save our planet so we don't get wiped out. So that our kids have a habitable planet to live on.

Here's something interesting. Some scientists figured out that if all the insects died all at once, within some years, all life on Earth would end. If all humans were wiped out, *big surprise here* all life would flourish.

Screw the world, and screw humanity.

Maybe we deserve to be wiped out.
