Almost nobody will remember today's disaster by next week; this includes you.
If they do happen to remember it, they probably won't by next year.
Failing that, everybody who knows about it has to die eventually.
If you manage to win the cosmic lottery and end up involved in a disaster that will be memorialized in human history, you can be assured that nobody will get the details right anyways, so it's time to stop worrying about it.

ummm....i may be missing something here, but what spurred this?

[Thicklesip]

Spending more than five minutes a day paying attention to what humanity's up to. This is the haiku form*; if I'd actually gone on and on in my normal style for rants, it would have come out as a a somehow MORE confusing, jumbled pyroclastic flow.

Actually, if a mod could move this to Just Ranting, that'd be great.

Now back to telling those darn kids to GEROFF MAH LAWN. *shakes cane at humanity*



*Not really haiku, because poetry is FAR beyond my skills. Short prose, though!

This rant should go in the other rants forum imho
