George, A more philosophical story.
Imagine that in 5 minutes every human will die.
Not enough time to even say good by to all my loved
ones.
Further all trace of human DNA will be gone.
A future organism will not even be able to resurrect
the human race.
At that moment every creature on earth would rejoice.
Before you tell me God will take care of it, that is
exactly what I'm afraid of. God will give us what we
deserve.
Oh well, I'm sure the answers to the world's problems
are in my hosta collection, back to the mulch I just
hauled in.
