“Many of us still languish in a self-generated stupor, awaiting the ominous click that signals the release of the trap-door that is all that holds us back from eternity! And yet, through all that plagues our society and more, we remain self-medicated and oblivious to the irreparable damage that we have visited upon our very own existence!”
I watched yet another television production last evening on global warming - one of a growing number of programs on this critical subject! I came away with the opinion that we have irrefutably become that drunken maniac who is so often depicted in the movies. The idiot that is careening around blind curbs, at breakneck speeds!
I do not, contrary to some learned fools, believe that this game of chance is never-ending! Nor do I swallow the age-old beliefs that mankind is omnipotent in all things that relate to his own survival! This race of ours, has after all, proven repetitiously that it enjoys it’s little game of Russian Roulette. It insists upon engaging in warfare, courting disease and romancing ecological suicide.
It would be a lot quicker if mankind would change it’s crippling and fatal ways. Or baring that, simply put a bullet in his own brain. But then mankind has always tempted the fates, has he not - “maybe one time too many?”
