Which event was worse?

[The2ndWheel]

Humanity really is just a freak show. It's been downhill since day one.

1. The birth of Barbara Bush

and the fact that she wasn't instantly sterilized.

to one cranky old invisible man with an unhealthy obsession over people's sex lives.

5. I'm with Douglas Adams ('cept for the "dead" part)

Opening to "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams

Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.

This planet has — or rather had — a problem, which was this: most of the people on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

And so the problem remained; lots of the people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches.

Many were increasingly of the opinion that they'd all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans.

8. Humanity is a beautiful transcendent thing

And, at the same time, full of small minded mean spirited nasty jerks.

The same species that made Van Gogh and William Shakespeare and Duke Ellington also gave us Aushwitz and Anthrax and George W. Bush.

I got no time for the person who believes the human race is perfect and I got no time for the person who says the human race is nothing but shit.

But to each their own.
