Survival of the Fittest

....Survival of the fittest.

An art that usually animals only practice.
What if we, us, this human race, depended on survival of the fittest? I don't think we'd be over popluated in some places....duh. And maybe the ground might be a bit healthier....maybe some better crops from the years of our Biodegradable bodies being buried in teh ground. We'd eventually grow used to having our "loved ones" die so quickly, so easily, painlessly. The whole human race could become a bit stronger too. Only the strong survive.
It's like having "street-smarts in the barrio". The ones who don't get shot are the ones who avoid the other "gangs" (species), stay within your group, do what you need to do, and don't mess in others' territory. Do you know what I mean?
The lazy humans, all the work they need to do is going to catch up with them...
Yesterday, one of the team leaders at work was complaining about the work we needed to do. All we were doing was taking the cart out to the street, getting it full of bags of ice, bringing it back to the tent, and dropping it all into the bin on top of the sodas. It wasn't that hard, and it doesn't even make you pant to get the ice. She was slacking off. I don't know how she made team leader...but i made her work. "If you are going to do something, do it right the first time so you don't have to do it a second time." That's what my father always tells me, plus, she's getting paid to work. I don't know what her problem was, but she was also complaining about getting her shirt and pants wet. I told her to shut up and break the ice on the ground, it's so hot out here that your clothes will dry in 20 to 30 minutes...and nobody cares about how you look.
Then she looks over her shoulder at the two guys at the next ice bins about 50 feet away.
"They keep looking over here, i wonder why...look, their ice bin looks so much better than ours," she noted.
"Well, they are probably looking over here because you are complaining so loudly, and unreasonably. Second, if you think their ice bin "looks better", then why don't you go get more ice and make ours equal or of greater value to theirs? Hmm?"
"...."
"That's what I thought. Now the question from me to is: Are you getting paid?"
"Yeah"
"Are you a Team Leader?"
"uh huh"
"I don't see why. You have been complaining this whole time, and worrying about yourself and your looks. This is not a beauty pageant. This is work time, your are not being paid to whine."
"..."
"Let's get some more ice for those bins over there."

I have been working at that specific area for only an hour. We made 7 trips back and forth to the ice truck. Maybe she was just weak. She couldn't even open the ice truck's door.
