Being an apocalyptic writer has its drawbacks. Like, after immersing yourself in all the apocalyptic literature out there from Edgar Casey to the Book of John Revelations, taking a look at what's happening today can be a bit disconcerting.
Using my prodigious memory, I gave thought to documenting each prediction so as to make a formidable argument from which all thinking (reasonably of course) people would flee. But, upon reading my eloquent dissertation they would join me in singing Kumbaya, much like the coke commercial in the 70s, and we would all agree, while holding hands, that we will work together to build a utopia on earth. Preferably in a commune where we would grow our own vegetables, even corn, which Monsanto has rendered uneatable.
Unfortunately, it just isn't going to happen.
Why?
Because...
Human beings are simply insane.
Why else would some of us run around cutting off the heads of other human beings while other human beings bomb other human beings to stop the anger used to provide impetus to the ones cutting off other human being's heads.
Say that five times in a row.
Then, of course, we build nuclear energy plants on fault zones supposedly equipped to withstand an earthquake only to have one, Fukushima of course, destroyed by a tidal wave. Did you know Japanese children have alarming rates of thyroid cancer or that over 200 US sailors have filed a billion dollar lawsuit against Tepco for lying to them about incorrect levels of radiation?
And you have to wonder... Has the gulf really recovered?
Don't even get me started on Ebola or the fact that we started bombing Syria last night. Oh, and let us not forget we are going to arm the moderate Syrian human beings who, the last time we tried this, turned into ISIS, ISIL, or even just IS. You do know they are all the same people don't you?
Oh, and let's talk about the Sierra Club, bastion of nature, policeman of the forest. They let the undergrowth of the forest get so bad that when fires start, or are started by random idiots, the fires EXPLODE. What about management don't they get?
OK, I'm done.
*deep breath*
Better do it inside the house because I sure as hell can't do it outside.
