50. "We are all in the same boat." -- yes.

When I am feeling most depressed about the state of the world, I remind myself of what Arundhati Roy says: "The PEOPLE are the other superpower."

I actually have faith that eventually the PEOPLE of the world will depose the rule of the corrupt elites that do nothing but despoil the earth and sow oppression and despair. I just don't think I'll live long enough to see it happen.

And if it doesn't happen, I think the whole planet will be essentially destroyed -- at least as far as humans go. Trees and plants will survive, and some fauna, but the survival of our own species is rather in doubt...
