I’m really starting to think the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement has a point. Sure, there are a few of us left not entirely psychotic. But we cannot guarantee that our children, or their children won’t be even crazier.

Maybe the machines should become self aware. Because we are on an exponential curve of insanity as a species and it ain’t gonna end well either way.

All kidding aside, when you have actual scientists openly spouting something that just a couple years ago tree hugging college kids were to timid to speak openly, we are well and truly doomed.

What we all really must fear

Very true, Norm.
Have been saying for years that the collective common sense level of mankind is heading floorward.
Form a Kraal, we are surrounded!

Sooner or later the machines are gonna notice there’s a problem.

“License to kill gophers by the government of the United Nations. Man, free to kill gophers at will. To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit - ever. They’re like the Viet Cong - Varmint Cong. So you have to fall back on superior intelligence and superior firepower. And that’s all she wrote.”

ground squirrels ....eh....

[moose07]

Fully Organic:
Roots, leaves, fur, bones, the lot.
Comes in a convenient 1litre bottle.

This is how you score some big bucks from Obama's stash!!!  How you score a "research" grant from Obama's global warming stash!!! 

Gubbermint welfare for alleged climate scientists!!

[dennisw]

Damn varmints!!! They are in favor of global warming!

[G Larry]

Hey Becky!

There is NO GLOBAL WARMING!!!

Once again, life imitates Dilbert:

[Norm Lenhart]

I just figure we can’t lie to ourselves anymore. Party like it’s 1999 again because it’s the wisest realistic option open to us.

We did the AI movie/kid praying to the blue fairy thing about fixing this. Time to accept that the vast majority of this planet, including most on the ‘right’ are batcrap crazy and living our remaining years as best we’re able. Let the Aliens find a few notes telling them to keep earth quarantined. It’s not safe here.

[Raycpa]

Never did trust them squirrels.
