no matter how we cut it, humanity is on a course of self destruction

The supreme & absurd of all tragic cop-out slogans! 

Sorry kids, you’re life, ...perhaps your children’s, is surely schit-on-a-shingle.  ...We’re all merely destined for self-destruction; ...you see, “we, the people...” are puppets in this big ancient game of...he who dies with the most toys wins...& we’re...sort of...okay with that...because our dogma says it’s all in God’s hands and life on earth here is...a great big cosmic [...guilt & dreadlocks for the lower 98% only.......] omniscient science fair project gone...bad.  So the planet’s gon’a scratch us off like a nasty case of poison ivy...& those genomes that do survive are going to evolve into a few hardy fiefdoms ~~ below the liege lord up the block with grossly more elaborate digs ~~ of lesser lords, vassals & serfs (‘cuz the lords just got’a have dey vassals & serfs) who will kneel and look up into the sky...then down at the ground...while the smarter, more paranoid and greedy robed [futile] lords, will convince all the others that the archaic writings they found underground are from...thee greatest ancient race of space traveling beings called the godz of rock & roll machine who's only self-destructive foible was that they were too dumb-azzed and incapable of being fair-minded-from-the-top-down & civil with regards to their own heady sum of all benevolent knowledge:  ...Now drink your Ovaltine & eat your Kicks & READ this’ere lyrical his-to-ry book...before Captain Midnight hits you with a stick!

BUT:  Oh, by the way, ...we love you; you can do anything, ...be anything, ...if you just practice, practice, practice, set goals, have good hygiene & don’t let the bastids get you down!!  ••• --- •••
