24. Most likely fear mongering, but the sad thing in all of this...

Is that we may have already damaged the planet beyond repair. And that we don't truly know of that will happen when shit truly hits the fan.

Puts things in perspective, for me at least, I have always thought that one day humans would go beyond solar system. Be more then what we are today, but at the rate we are going none of that will happen. We will cease to be, and that is damn shame.
