The human race is becoming a herd of golden calves. It worships itself. Ok so I'm generalizing but I'll bet: Like all the other organisms in the Biosphere it has a function to perform. It has become distracted with its genitals and other pleasures available to it so much so that it is failing in its obligation to life / nature / God. Life can and will be Heavenly but first the scion needs an ass whipping. I know, I repeat myself. It has become a Mantra. I repeat it for my own benefit. The amount of nonsense, suffering ignorance and savagery in print is depressing.
