I am looking forward to the administration of Hillary Clinton. Well, not really.

It’s just that the GOP is producing terrible candidates. They’re all anti-everything, totally out of touch with what is happening outside their gated communities and ivory towers. Just like Hillary. She just has no credible opponents.

“… the times, they are a changing.” And so they are. Recently, for instance, the world-wide concentration of carbon dioxide has overtopped 440 ppm. We live on a dying planet, its death due to us.

I’d like to believe that the next round of bickering world leaders will get together and make the tough decisions that will ease the human race into the brave, new world of our own making. I just don’t see it happening.

Oh, well. There’s always text-messaging, computer games, dumb movies, celebrity gossip and religious stupidity to ease the pain our own demise.

I think it’s a pity that if Hillary makes history, there will be no one left on the planet to read it.

Stephen Hawking himself gave human domination of the World 1,000 more years. I believe he was being overly generous.

Our submarine is sinking.
