That was just a stepping stone, Prefer the buzz that comes from a different high.

So I suppose it WAS a gateway drug after all.

I don't have any. Why would you? I mean, they don't like me or mine or our way of life then why would anyone bother including one in their life?

Fuckem, they deserve all of the self-hatred they can get their hands on, and the privacy to enjoy it.

Mention a misanthropic doomer and you'll hear the flutter of his leathery wings

There's an entertaining review in the Financial Times.

http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/2d063...44feab7de.html

Select quoote :-

"There are only a few paranoid steps from the sober assessment by one of the more pessimistic mainstream scientists, Martin Rees, that humankind has a 50/50 chance of reaching the next century, to the conviction that catastrophe is inevitable and imminent. Nor does it appear to take long before this dire prospect becomes a source of perverse glee. Judging by the doomers Evans met, many are misanthropes, revelling in the destruction of the vile modern world and the anticipation of being able to say gloatingly “I told you so”.

Even without these millenarian tendencies, the intensity of small community life was always going to be testing. People do not cease being competitive, arrogant, jealous, pigheaded or stupid just because they spend more time chopping wood than checking their iPhones. The romantic idea that the collapse of modernity will lead to a simpler, bucolic kind of existence has always been a myth. The basic problem with civilisation today is not that it is late capitalist, industrial or lacking in spirituality, but that it is human."

It reminded me of somebody... but I can't think who.

Family mate. Seems just about every female is a greenie. Endlessly exercised about the perils of vaccination but happy to take the benefits of herd immunity and leave others clutching the risks.
