39. Despise adding the worst here but...

Apr 2013

The Koch's have dumped enough pollution into the waterways to extinguish all marine life. I lose sleep nightly about this, and other ways the repug's particularly have pushed. It truly disturbs me how calloused they can be, how much in denial americans are about this. I do believe our climate change situation will begin to speak far louder than the pundits can shout soon... very soon. A magnanamously disasterous dust bowl where the republican-voting midwest once grew a couple green plants to make the last one look like a minor drought is already starting. The toxic sludge stream making it's way down to the gulf from arkansas GP plants represents a creeping death from the bottom of the food chain up. There certainly won't be 7 billion humans 500 years from now, if any survivors, will be struggling.
I don't know how people responsible for this calamity can live with themselves. Idiots think some cruel god will save us, B'wana he no home.
What we can turn around will likely be far too little, too late. Once the aliens land here from Andromeda, the only remnant of mankind will be one plastic tab blowing across the sand. The alien will pick it up, it will take all their computers to decipher:
"Sealed for your protection".
