“i prefer to think that god is not dead, just drunk.” -john marcellus huston
i need to stop reading the papers. the bp oil spill is all i ever see, and it is sending me to very dark places.
i was reading an article the other day on the animals that the spill has/will kill and a thought struck me: we can go no further. the human race has always gone up up up, exponentially. but now, we can only go down. we may continue to advance technologically, but this spill is going to be the end of us. there is much too much oil in the water now for any cleanup efforts to even make a dent in it for a very long time. animal species may even be wiped out completely, and once the balance is thrown off, we will all tumble down that slippery slope with no chance of redemption.
this thought scares me. the fact that we are digging our own graves scares me.
the fact that, as of day, the end has begun, scares me.
