We've all heard the mythological stories from the middle ages of a race of dwarfs, they live underground and mine all day, they like to drink tall glasses of ale. Of course this is fantasy, but then it dawned on me, we could make it come true. We could breed a race of dwarfs. We could make a new country where only Little People are allowed and send them all there. There would be little teachers, with classrooms full of little students, there would be little grocery stores with little cashiers, there would be a little parliament building with little politicians, they would build little planes and little tanks and have little wars with each other. It would be amazing right?
I read a lot of stupid things on this forum, but once in a while you strike gold. I am totally on board with this idea.
A world full of little people would use up a lot less resources. It would be good for the planet. How small are we talking here? [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gd4KXw_ap8Y&feature=related"]short people by randy newman - YouTube[/ame]
That might require some genetic modifications. Is there a gene that can make ears pointy and can make skin light blue?
LOTR of course. Or maybe Terry Brooks? They seem quite similar.. 'Cept for the immortality thing of course. They're just really pretty environmentalists with pointy ears.
