You know, I always said that while some men just want to watch the world burn, some OTHER men NEED to see the world burn to see how much they fucked up. At this point, I think the Point of No Return was with the first time tax cuts were given to corporations in the US (or maybe the point at which China embraced the foreign factories). Now that we're here, on the brink of tangible cataclysm, the bus' already halfway past the cliff and it's just waiting for that last rock to break off before falling into the chasm - all because the back wheels lost traction a long time ago. It will be rough. There will be death, pain and sorrow. But with a bit of luck, humanity might come out of the apocalypse just a bit better. (/rambling)
So do I. It's one of my worst fears - that civilization would not end incinerated by a nuclear flash, but slow-cooked by it's own carelessness. But there's very little we can do but wait and hope for the best.
