We're so self-important. So arrogant. Everybody's going to save something now. Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save those snails. And the supreme arrogance: Save the planet! Are you fucking kidding me? Save the planet? We don't even know how to take care of ourselves yet; we haven't learned how to care for one another. We're gonna save the fuckin' planet? . . . And, by the way, there's nothing wrong with the planet in the first place. The planet is fine... The people are fucked! Compared with the people, the planet is doing great. It's been here over four billion years . . . The planet isn't goin' anywhere, folks. We are! We're going away. Pack your shit, we're going away. And we won't leave much of a trace. Thank God for that. Nothing left. Maybe a little Styrofoam. The planet will be here, and we'll be gone. Another failed mutation; another closed-end biological mistake
