Reading the article and discussion by Chris Hedges Addicted to Nonsense

We'll Make Great Pets
We cannot handle the long term survival of our planet or the welfare of the least among us, but we can do tricks like nobody's business. We like to hoard nuts for winter like the squirrels. We poke the galatic fire with a big, pointy stick and watch the sparks spread out. We are amazed by the noises that come out of our bodies and heads. We think we're pretty clever.

"Children are innocent
A teenager's fucked up in the head
Adults are even more fucked up
And elderlies are like children
Will there be another race
To come along and take over for us?
Maybe martians could do
Better than we've done
We'll make great pets!
My friend says we're like the dinosaurs
Only we are doing ourselves in
Much faster than they
Ever did
We'll make great pets!"
