Amazing thread and worth the read. Here is a heartfelt comment from dhmt.
"Are you sure of it? Are you sure we are lucky?
I can now empathize with Homer's Cassandra of Troy. All this evil is being perpetuated, and I can see it clearly, and 90% of people don't believe it. My worst old predictions have almost all come true, and my direst new predictions paint a picture of a world I'd rather not live in.
When are my other predictions - the ones that I wish would come true (Big Pharma seeing an Enron-style-collapse; a skeptical electorate kicking the bums out; parents ashamed of themselves and furiously punishing the NIH, FDA, CDC for their own stupidity) - when are those predictions going to come true?
I want my smart, honest, ethical former friends back. Not these assholes I have to pretend to get along with.
I am not unscathed!
(Sorry for the negativity - it has been a hard day.)"
