From this particular cynic's corner, the prospect doesn't sadden me. I say bring it on. Don't the enviros keep telling us there are too many people on the planet? Well I say let's blow it all up and let the survivors, if any, figure out how to start over. The enviros, what's left of them, will be happy there are far fewer people. The Libertarians will be happy there's no government. If the rest of us are lucky, no Dems/Leftists will survive. And we can all be happy there are no more taxes.
