"You ever get the feeling the world's filling up with bastards? I do. What I want to know is what happens when all the bastards run out of people to crap on? What happens when all that's left in the world is bastards? . . . The golden rule. Screw unto others before they screw unto you."

Something that always comes to mind when the issue of our genetic ancestry is discussed. It has to do the the Machiavellian aspects of who we are that often come to the forefront.

It's a quote from comedian Colin Quinn. He said it explains a lot to remember, "We didn't evolve from the tribe that starved to death waiting for their turn at the dinner table."

The world has ALWAYS been full of bastards. It's not a new concept.

In any circumstance, scientific or social, there is one golden rule, shit and scum always rises to the top and call themselves the cream.

when there are only bastards, the least bastardly will be seen as the good guy to be dumped upon, when he is gone, the next least worst will take his place.

Then we get on the giant space ark we're building, which we're not telling all the stupid people about (with apologies to Steve Martin) and go crap on all the Martians.

Do you REALLY want to know what happens?

The Earth experiences its next bottleneck. Perhaps a coronal mass ejection shorts out the power grid. Maybe an asteroid impact.... Perhaps Yellowstone blows it caldera.

We need one badly... That's for sure. Moreover... EARTH needs one badly!
