If we can get the rest of the world squared away, maybe they’ll at least remember that we existed, once upon a time.

One can hope.

If we fail, they might remember us as the bad guys, history being written by the victors, or when there are no winners, by the survivors.

“One can hope.

And who is more likely to survive? People who already live on the edge, and are toughed to it, or those who can’t even pick their own lettuce?

“Earth Abides” is another one to read...
