Apropos of little importance

[Ferraridriver]

Years ago, around the time of our first grandchildren, I remember feeling a bit jealous. They would have the things I imagined the future would hold for them like no wars, no starvation, disease conquered, the climate finally controlled, the realization that people of a different color weren’t really that different.

All in all a utopia if you will, I actually thought that mankind’s native intelligence would prevail.

I was so wrong!

Events of the last twenty years or so have led me to the conclusion that we are in a downward spiral with civilization, as we have known it since Neanderthal times, doomed to collapse.

As I look upon the world’s journey through time I just don’t see our present course as sustainable.

Why did this happen? How did this happen?

Mankind’s greed won out over its intelligence.

Oh well, maybe we’ll do better next time
