...never mind.

Jeezus.

In recent years, I have struggled with the very sad thought that humanity deserves what it is going to get.

Every time I read something like this, I reflect on the great foolishness of my life, which was to expect that this time in history, it might have been different.

Maybe all the mercury that was dumped into humanity's favorite waste dump, the planetary atmosphere, by coal burning power plants over the last century, this, while we waited for the grand renewable nirvana, - like Estragon waiting for Godot -has caused such wide spread neurological damage and rendered us a race of paranoid mad hatters.
