personally, i feel like doom has already come upon us: ecological, economical, environmental, infrastructural, cultural, educational DOOM is undermining the very foundations of our health, freedom and environment.

The Nukes had nothing on Homeland Security for terrorizing people.
genetically modified foods are a nightmare, if anyone cares to investigate; the bees are all dying; the sea is a dumping ground for garbage of all types; the coral reefs are dying. global climate change is making itself better known every year.

we will be known as the generation that saw the end of the world, as it was.
the great-grandchildren will do documentaries on: "What do you remember?"
i get really annoyed at the professional prognosticators who say we have another 30 yrs to stop the global melt-down. it's here now.
