Rage Virus:

What if the movie scenario were true? Is the RV ultimately detrimental or 
beneficial to human evolution? Through mutation some infectees are spared. Who 
are these people? They are the meek, of course, the multi eye-colored meek. And 
the meek shall inherit the earth. In this obvious trilogy they certainly will. 
That is if the storytellers elevate their zombie horror show to global 
importance. 

Can a simple virus cleanse the human race of all that aggressive ape baggage? 
And how will the species be generally fucked in the meantime? Well, the 
species will be totally fucked in the short term…but longtime survivability is the 
answer to the question. But weather it can survive or not, it’s a great story.

Ten dollars. Worth it… This flick punches all my primal fear buttons and also 
makes me think a little.

Those nice folks, and especially the hot big black general, in camouflage 
that are trying to stop the RV from escaping the Isles are on the wrong side of 
natural selection.

Rage Virus is GOOD because it immediately removes rage from the gene pool. 
However, the survivors need to be so numerous and close enough together as to 
permit reproduction. Imagine it; perhaps a dozen people per country survive. 
Yet, they may have at their disposal, for a brief period, the communications and 
transportation infrastructure to permit hookup. 

Tricky. 

Flimsy. 

Cross your fingers…

Speaking personally, I know rage, and will not survive.

John
