Frightening...and very real. It's kind of like giving the keys to a car or a loaded handgun to a 3 year old. This is the future we face when so many people are disregarding ethics, responsibility and truth for foolish reasons. When everything goes south, nobody will be able to say they weren't warned. People should be thinking now about the incorrect things they do, however minor, since minor things have a ways of accumulating and becoming the norm. For example, we had terrorism in the Middle East that has now spread to malls and schools in America. We have had the sacrifice of education for the sake of profit, which was largely a third-world problem in the past but has now become a mainstream one in the US. We have corporations fighting to exist as 'people' for the sake of exploiting other people...sure, that is an American innovation - but it too will spread throughout the 3rd world nations and cause havoc long after Americans, assuming they ever do, realize what a mistake it was. Just think about how China has destroyed their economy with the very same activities and set of circumstances that led to the housing and financial crises that affected the entire world in 2007-2008. Even what is happening in China, to some degree, is affecting the rest of the world now and, no doubt, other nations will continue to affect the entire planet as they go through this stage of 'development' that was ingrained by irresponsible, ignorant, unethical, greedy people who started it in the US. Many of them still haven't learned the lesson and are actively still destroying the economy for their own neighbors as you read this text. It doesn't really take a brain surgeon to understand which way all of this is heading...or how detrimental it will be to the future of the human race. If this is the best that humans can do, I have to reconsider whether or not I am actually happy to be a part of the species. Personally, I'd rather be abducted... (y)

(y) - By Claire Bernish at theantimedia.org United Kingdom — Humanity’s future is in peril thanks to so-called advancements in science and technology, claims Professor Stephen Hawking, who cited “nuclear war, global warming, and genetically-modified viruses” as deadly threats to our existence.
