58. there's truth in what you say

Worst case scenario, the self serving nature of the people running the world pushes the environment over the edge, and humanity loses out. Life will likely go on.

Or people survive and eventually grasp for freedom again.

There is always hope. It just really sucks that a lot of us won't get to be part of a better future. I was really hoping for the star trek future, not the fallout future
