Can't say I didn't warn you
I've mentioned this in parts before, but I thought it best to put it here for future reference. The world is in serious trouble. Apart from the obvious issues like the energy crisis (no moe oil, electricity, or hydrocarbons), poverty, starvation, disease, and the futures of a plauge that will ravage humanity, there are other issues as well. Should we manage to survive a giant piece of space dust colliding with the planet, and our over use of antibiotics doesn't create a superbacteria that kills us all overnight, if the avian or spanish flu doesn't show up again, and HIV doesn't become airborne, if we manage to overcome the little problem of carrying capacity and manage to fed all our people, if we can survive the pollution we've created, grow crops that don't kill us and don't take up the entire planet's usable land creating a continual process of desertification, if we overcome the political and ideological apathetic slump we've fallen into, if we don't fall preey to religious fundimentalism, if we get actual human rihts for everyone, start treating animals fairly, and develop new ways to look beyond the color of people's skin, the presence or lack of a Y chromosome, nationality, race, sexual orientation, religion, lack or overuse of hair dye and/or body piercings--even if we do all that, we've got a long way to go. If it's Us v. the Universe, my money's on the Universe. Best of luck, and don't say I didn't warn you.
