Hey Sinner Man....

There was a popular folk song in the early Sixities, the refrain of which was "Hey sinner man, where ya gonna run to, all on that day...?"

“We’re only here because nobody’s acted quick enough,” said Corrin Mueller.   Exactly.  That creature known as  Man, which prides itself on its superior-to-animal faculties and its supposed ability to make "objective" and "disinterested" decisions based on reason  has preferred instead to burn its candles at both ends.    Was there anything more ludicrous than Australians gathering to gawk and goo at fireworks blasting against a particulate saturated sky while their country burned?    Ridet et moritur.

Let it be an object lesson to climate deniers here and everywhere.  

My sorrow and pity goes to all the beautiful animals, birds, insect and fauna that have paid with their lives for Man's self-indulgent rapacity.
