We were laying out in the yard yesterday while the ponies grazed to their content on grass that was finally sweet and green with the rain we desperately needed and the roommates boyfriend conveniently made a statement about our beautiful grazing ponies: "you should mate these two, you know like have a baby...."
It would make sense right, she is yellow, he is yellow -- you could have a yellow baby. To the unknowledgeable person it would be a perfect combination, my mare well, she's superfine and bubba, well, he is pretty much as redneck as they get, but still... I had to burst his bubble. "Well, honey that just wouldn't be possible. You see, Bubba is castrated." He grinned but secretly I knew he was thinking as most boys would -- ouch. Then readjusted himself to reverify his "kids" were still attached and had feling. He then asked why we would do such a thing and I took it upon myself to explain that we castrate male horses just like we do dogs and cats -- to prevent unwanted offspring and to promote an "attitude adjustment" to the unruly male mind.
This questioning got me to thinking, if we were to selectivly castrate our male population would it improve our economy?
1. The porn industry would change, that is for sure...
2. Men would have more time to learn, study, and educate making our nation smarter..
3. Smarter and educated, surely we could find solutions for cancer, aids, and global warming a hell of a lot sooner
4. Natural selection still exists
5. Sports cars would look less manly
6. Less barfights and brawls, hell less alcohol period.
But really, wouldn't the whole world be just a little less materialistic, arrogant, and chauvanistic if we could castrate? Just a few?
