5. We had potential.
But we arrogantly thought we were masters of our destiny, rather than a delicate spark in the darkness.

Don't make the same mistake.

14. I wouldn't write anything at all for fear of writer's cramp
If I'm the last surviving human, I've got a lot of self-gratification to take care of. I'm not gonna waste my wrist strength writing something no one will ever read. No sir!

20. "Daniel Boone

killed a bear on this tree."

Chances are I won't be the last person alive on earth, but I still have the urge to write that. Now that I've posted it on DU, I have a sense of inner peace.

32. 200 years ago, perhaps.
Surely we have progressed since then. It seems unlikely that people could have caused the near total extinction of humanity in Daniel's day. Out of respect for the advances we've made, I think it's important to spell correctly. We don't want aliens thinking a republican was the last one here.

39. Here's what I would do:
I would pretty much write rants about how horrible some human beings are, and how they caused the destruction of the species.

I think I would point out somewhere in my writing about the futility of believing in something for which there is little to no proof, and how evil lies helped to split the species into factions and accelerated the demise of homo sapiens.

I would probably also take a bible after destroying ALL others, and re-write it to make it more plausible, so that anyone who decides to literally interpret it will get some knowledge about evolution. That, plus a hundred thousand other common sensical revisions will give a future society a lot better chance to avoid fundies and evangelicals from trying to take over the world.

Since I would be last, there would be no fear of taking away anyone's right of free speech, so I would track down books that spin everything right, and destroy them, including anything by Tim LeHaye, Anne Coulter, and other right wingnuts out there. This would, however, necessitate the destruction of rebuttal/liberal books that are a direct result of the right wing books, but that's okay, because the future society would not be tainted by these hypocrites on the right, and thus, a chance for a better world would be worth such a sacrifice.

And after all this, I would take a nap. :)

40. "Earth needs women!"
in huge, 100-mile letters.

Of course, I'd have to spell it backwards, going from the East to the West . . .
