And then... there was silence.

"All things considered, it will only take a few tens of thousands of years at most before almost every trace of our present dominance has vanished completely. Alien visitors coming to Earth 100,000 years hence will find no obvious signs that an advanced civilisation ever lived here." ~New Scientist

I often have strongly philanthropic daydreams of salvaging this miserable race and its environment so we could live in a more natural state. Without running ourselves ragged and taking down every last living thing with us. I have understood for quite some time that the planet we inhabit would keep on keepin' on despite the worst we throw at it... it's just the health, well-being, and spiritual integrity of our species that is at stake. However, if the planet could heal itself that fast after our demise - and be that apathetic to our plight - I find it extremely difficult not to do the same thing. -_-

I really shouldn't watch television... it's bad for the blood. Sometimes I wonder how la madre can take so much of it without her brain being boiled by this point.
