I'm feeling even more misanthropic than usual at the moment. I don't know how we've avoided killing ourselves entirely thus far. Between news from the Middle East, Afghanistan, the Catholic Church, standard corruption scandals and random peccadillos -- what the hell are we still doing here? We seem intent on getting everything as wrong as reasonably possible.

People pretty much just suck. All of us, not just "those people." We suck. I suck. Because I can't imagine what I could do that would make the world a better -- or at least slightly less sucky -- place.

Harumph.

How's that for a perky post?
