SAN FRANCISCO (August 26, 2003) -- A federal judge ruled today that the Navy's plan to deploy a new high-intensity sonar system violates numerous federal environmental laws and could endanger whales, porpoises and fish.

8. First, the humans must stop fucking
I swear, that's half the problem in a nutshell.

Look, people, if your house is made of mud and you haven't eaten in two days and there are carcasses of human infants rotting in the middle of the sewage-filled road out in front, the message should be crystal clear: STOP FUCKING.

If your fucking will lead to the decimation of acres of rainforest and/or the extinction of yet another species of primates, just don't do it.

If your fucking requires that hundreds of people be enslaved in sweatshops to support your subsidized taste in leather goods, please stop now.

Yes, I know it's difficult, life between fucks can be alternately boring and terrifying, while sex is usually fun, but there are other recreational activities. Try reading, skateboarding, poker, opium, anything. The world's going on 8 billion people, while we run out of everything else, and all the interesting positions have been tried already.

It's time to stop fucking around and do something original, like starting a new religion or experimenting with driftwood suppositories. Surprise your friends and family!
