Drugs and Dirty Rats

By Brother Ragnarok

There’s been a disturbing trend I’ve noticed here lately. We’ve been way too nice. I’ve read nary a death threat or a violently opinionated rant for quite some time in our reviews, and I’ve been responsible for quite a few of them. It’s time to crank the heat back up.

Not too long ago, some goddamn pedophile was “rehabilitated” and set free in the neighborhood not too far from where Malorie (my girlfriend, for those who haven’t been paying attention) lives. While I worked at the radio station, I got a few calls about people being concerned with similar cases in other towns nearby.

This got me thinking, why the hell are we letting these people go? Is every single person in a position of authority completely retarded? Or is the world just too fucking scared of being sued for actually doing its goddamn job? Probably both. But these people should be executed, not let off for smiling pretty for the warden. And it also got me thinking about drugs. No, not those kind of drugs. And about lab rats. Doesn’t make sense, you say? Well, you’ll see. There is a point to all this. Just read on.

Obviously, testing any experimental new drug on humans for the first time is going to involve skating on some pretty thin ethical ice. If the drug causes any serious side effects in the lab animals, even more so. If a rat kicks it because of some previously undiscovered bug in the juice, so be it and back to the drawing board. The ASPCA can be ignored up to a point. But if you accidentally croak a human, there’ll be hell to pay. A rat’s family can’t take you to court.

There will always be difficulties in ethical issues testing things on humans. Most people think that since we wear pants and drive cars that destroy our protection from the deadly radiation of the sun, we’re better than everything else and therefore the entire world is our playground.

Personally, I’m all for testing human products on humans, though. Whatever disease the drug is for, it was our problem to begin with. I’ve never heard of a guinea pig with AIDS until they gave it to them in the labs. The poor animals shouldn’t have to be poisoned and tortured on some off chance that a few years could be added to an already sick and miserable person’s life. Just pull the plug and be happy there’s no more pain. I’m not one of those bleeding-heart vegetarian “animals are people too” wackos, but I’m also not sadistic (usually). Sure, cows are good to eat, but that doesn’t mean I’d like to see one tortured to death.

Humans, on the other hand, suck. All we do is rape and kill and make each other miserable, and to the best of my knowledge we aren’t terribly good to eat, either. So, here’s my plan for a way to test experimental drugs on humans with little to no moral or ethical backlash. Fuck this “the child molester behaved very nicely this year, let’s reintroduce him back into society right next to a preschool” bullshit. Pump that sick motherfucker full of experimental drugs. And shoot it up his ass with a hose the size of a zucchini. See how he likes it. Same goes for rapists and killers.

Just make sure the killer wasn’t a vigilante killing some sick fuck who messed with his girlfriend because all the cops were too busy wiggling their thumbs around in their asses to do anything about it. In that case, give the man a medal and let him go.

I hardly think too many people would object testing potentially life-saving drugs on the scum of the earth. Their families probably wouldn’t like the idea, but that’s their problem. The way I see it, when you violate someone’s basic rights by, say, raping them, you lose all your rights. The minute you’re convicted you get labeled as a test subject and get sent to a lab to be used as a guinea pig. And if the drugs prove successful and the test subject doesn’t die, cover him with pretty girl-cow scent and toss him in a pen with a horny bull for an hour or two.

Provided you can cut through all the stupid red tape, get the right-wing religious nuts off your back, and create some kind of loophole that negates any lawsuit posed by the next-of-kin of whatever pole-smoking criminal you’re testing the drugs on, it’s a flawless plan. Well, nearly. There will still be the issue of whether or not they caught the right guy, but you’re dealing with that already, and now all they’re doing is electrocuting them or killing them with some kind of wussy lethal injection anyway (there‘s a whole different editorial right there), so if they must sacrifice their life, why not make it for a noble cause? Or, if that whole scenario seems a little too extremist for you, you can always just pay people to be the test group like they do now.

Now all the poor animals can go back to being killed by irresponsible little children who can’t take care of their pets properly. It’s still not a perfect world, but they’re not being poisoned, at least. So remember, Texas, have your children spayed or neutered. There are way too many unwanted rednecks out there as it is.
