I've agreed with T.S. Elliott's line now for years, "This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang, but a whimper". I was so terrified of a massive nuclear holocaust as a teen and into my twenties, it was almost a relief when my perception changed. Not that the world ending is a relief in any way, other than for the critters and the flora. I had so hoped to leave a better world for the grandsons...

And thanks for directing me to enews, sorry reply seemed grumpy.
