I don't think so

The world is coming to an end, PlipHHFFF! like that. No it's not. There are going to be mega disasters, but if you look at history, we've had those. Even at the time of the Great Dying, some of life continued. It's quite possible we need a glorious weeding out. Our Mitochondrial DNA illustrates that at one time there were not so many of us to carry on the Homo Sap line. But carry on, we did. I think we got a coupla more tries at actually doing something with our race that's noteworthy before we're done. History crawls with stuff from all over. Archeology does the same, as Paleontology and all the other gosh-0logies. We ARE going to be in for some interesting times, and I for one, have no illusions. I think I will be a casualty. I'm dependant on medicine and bionic assistance. I require batteries. You don't need me around, save possibly for comic relief.

Are we going to be invaded by ET's? Well yes, and no. It might be a good thing. Sorry, Martha.

Animals can think. They can reason. They have aware lives. Anyone who has spent a decent time with a pet and has sensitivities above pond scum knows that. I daresay they even talk to one another, and to us, if we sit still long enough to learn. They have societies. Ask Jane Goodall. They even teach their young foreign languages. Ask Koko. One thing I have learned. Potty humor is universal.

I'll bet that if they figure out what makes cancer tick, we could harness that puppy to extend our livespans.

Everyone, please do one thing for yourselves. Spend a moment, close your eyes, and humbly thank your life spirit for existing. It's a great experience! That was the politically correct version. Otherwise, Thank God. And mean it. That's it for today.
