well, I could have said, "LET'S HOPE SO! " and I have to admit there is a sliver of me that does. Still, the odds are stacked pretty high on collapse. I think we are being conditioned to become zombies. We will just become these fat pustules though which commerce passes on its way to profit. On lighter days it could be differently phrased but Patrick Henry's "The greatest preoccupation of mankind is to indulge in the illusion of hope" remains a deep tatoo on my consciousness. All other forms of madness are co opted by banal marketing.
