Slim,
I just watch the news and read my history. Maybe it will just blow over, but it feels dangerous.
As dangerous as the Black death which killed 30% of the population of Europe? Imagine the headlines if that happened today.
Humans have been proved throughout history to have an enormous capacity to survive even the most catastrophic events, not that I think the things that lie are ahead are as bleak as you suggest. It is true that we are living through precarious political and social times in many parts of the earth, but these things have a way of working themselves out.
When you get apprehensive like this Slim, turn the news off and have a good game of football. Whatever will happen will happen, and if humakind is wiped off the face of the planet, well so much the better. The animals will make much better use of the place than we have, and all signs of humanity will be extinguished by nature with a couple of hundred years anyway.
