My geography teacher is one of the most naive pessimists I've ever listened to. He doesn't like the fact that not-nice things are happening all over the world, he's pretty sure that we have to do nice things for everybody, (but it's not nice to do things—even nice things—if they don't want you to) and... Oh, agony. Quite honestly, I pity him very much. Especially when I start taking the things he's saying and actually follow them out to what they mean. "HIV/AIDS, Ebola, Malaria, and many other tropical diseases are bad because they kill people, and the dieases are caused by too many people," he says. I counter, "then that would mean that the cure is to reduce the population—to kill people." But that, he counters, isn't nice.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Damned with no-one to save you.

Wow! Sounds interesting. People like that can get annoying very easily.
No, the cure is... Space Colonization! ^_^
Though I'd be fine with sea colonization as well...
(On a naturalistic plane, of course)
so, what would he say to not finding cures, and backing off health insurance for the masses? That will cut down the number of people, er, nicely, (see if you can catch that comment) and, better for the evolutionists of heart, it will cut down the weak more than the strong so the human race will better face the future!
