4. I just watched a rerun of Murphy Brown

from 1989 and I did the math. This particular episode was about global warming....
"recycling, car pooling, constant use of styrofoam, asking for a glass of water at a bar that actually costs 3 times the amount for cleaning, rinse and ice, etc." and I said out loud to myself, "Nothing has changed in 35 years". That is a sobering fact. I'm a realist and at 62 years old I KNOW it will not change in my own lifetime but most likely will not change for decades, and that is an optimistic evaluation. Humans kill and destroy for greed and profit. That has been documented for thousands of years throughout various regions, cultures, politics and religions. Males do this about 99% more than female leaders. Humans kill and destroy, especially males. This will never, ever change. I've realized that I am a misanthrope now.
Older but wiser is my motto.
