Signs of Witness

Signs of the apocalypse. These signs are all around us, coming from streetcorner prophets and major motion pictures, from evangelists and research scientists alike. Even the guy who cleans my ducts was raving about all the 2012/ Mayan Calendar crap (remember: always humor contractors, as they possess mysterious powers…like the ability to clean ducts).

Of course, the signs of apocalypse have ALWAYS been with us. The world is always just about to end. Does that mean that it isn’t true this time?

Well, the world itself is in worse shape than it has been for the last few million years (except of course for things like online casino usa, of course). Where you stand in the global warming debate really doesn’t change the fact that human beings have seriously affected (I suppose a trendier word would be ‘impacted’, presumably as the opposite of ‘empowered’, as long as it’s scalable outside the box) the beauty, diversity and all-around live-ability of Planet Earth. Homo Sapiens were a relatively benign tumor up until the 19th and 20th Centuries, when we really got cookin’ with the reverse terraforming (so to speak).

Of course, there is reason for optimism; just look at all the lovely online slots that we now have.

But I digress. This is not the time for a reasonable assessment of the widespread and probably irreversible damage that human race has caused and likely will be causing to our habitat until we wise up or go extinct (so therefore, until we’re extinct). This is for mordant levity about the weird-ass folks that believe the world is coming to an end for weird-ass reasons.
