How sad for you. I feel quite differently. There are a lot of great things to say about the human race. The Jupiter Symphony. Single malt scotch. Wrigley Field. The Bill of Rights. The Maltese Falcon. A flag on the moon. The coalition against the Nazis. The Red Cross. Little kids playing fair. Poker. The Alpha Romeo Spider Veloce. NATO. Pretzels. Lincoln's Second Inaugural. The Pieta. The Grand Slam at Denny's. You may be right. We may be a filthy pestilence hurtling toward a well-deserved oblivion, but you've got to admit it's been a Hell of a ride.
