No news is good Gnews with Gary Gnu

Man, is it me or is does it seem like shit has been hitting the fan lately? It's like mankind is chugging along the exponential curve and today was the day that we got the part where it starts to be a real bitch to climb. Anyway, it's been a crazy few years and it seems to me that catastrophes are happening more and more frequently. (Or maybe I'm just listening to 680 news too much). Here are some of the major points along the "cultural" curve (botom ones are most recent and closer together, hence exponential):

• 9/11 and Anthrax


• Bush II - Return to stupidity


• Iraq II - Return to Bagdad


• Strange weather


• West Nile


• SARS


• Blaster virus


• Northeastern Blackout


• SARS II in Vancouver?!


• Good Samaritan Virus


• Bus bomb in Jerusalem


• U.N. Bombed in Iraq (The world lost a good man)

The last six points or so happened within the last week!
Sheesh, I'm trying to see the glass as half full here, but our fragile little species seems to be fucking up quite royally on an scale unheard of.
Or at least unheard of in a long, long time :)

We are kicking our flaws up a notch. BAM!

So the best thing to do is enjoy your time here. I believe that DM said it best:
