The Problem with Evolution

We have destoyed evolution by letting people live that really wouldn't have if survival were as competitive and selective as it used to be "back in the day".
The fact that they have to put warnings on poison that say "don't consume this" is evidence of this. If they didn't warn people of that, then the people who are stupid enough to eat poisonous things would slowly be edited out of the evolution of the species.
If we were allowed to randomly edit people out of evolution the way our ancestors did (ie clubs and big rocks), then I think those people who eavesdrop conversations and laugh even when they're not in them would not exist today.
But then again, neither would very small dogs who need to wear sweaters, and the world would be a much sadder place without them.
