Why do we hate us?

Last year I visited for the first time in years a good friend of mine I have known since high school. He lives in Eugene, Oregon, a haven for eco-freaks. As we drove around in his Porsche Boxster, he complained about overcrowding (if you have ever been to the Pacific Northwest, it is NOT crowded) and longed for a virus that would kill 90% of the population. He's an environmental lawyer.

I also visited some nice vegans, and was taken to see many natural wonders. On the way, one of the men kept ranting about overcrowding, and how he wished a disease would kill 90% of the population.

This may be a common sentiment in the Pacific Northwest, I have no idea.

At any rate, it was the first time I had ever heard it.
