Why The Human Race Is Doomed

I'm all for conservation. Recycling. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Renewable energy sources. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Efforts to reduce deforestation. Using low wattage light bulbs. All well intentioned and worthy efforts.

But we, as a society, are still doomed because of people like the dickhead I just saw as I was walking to lunch.

Outside my building, there was a utility truck on the corner and a couple manholes were propped open on the sidewalk with a big ole' hose dangling down in them. Oftentimes I see this downtown. It's like they are pumping water, or something, from one undergroud catacomb to another. Not sure why, but they do it all the time.

Anyway, walking by one of these open manholes were a fat, shirtless, teenage thug, and a skinny teenage thug. Teen #1 obviously gave away his thug status by not wearing a shirt on a busy downtown street. Teen #2 had the complete thug package going on: HUGE tee shirt down to his knees, untied basketball shoes, ball cap with brim pressed flat, twisted to the side so it shaded his right ear, mutton chops, pimp roll swagger. It was Vanilla Ice. Still can't mask the fact that he is a pimply faced fourteen-year-old kid who is probably playing hookey from summer school "pre-algebra" class.

Well, thug #2 took a quick look around, made sure a few of us noticed him, and then proceeded to fire an empty 20-ounce Mountain Dew bottle right down into the manhole.

Obnoxious little wretch. I scowled at him, he scoffed at me. There are always going to be people like this. Most of us know better, just out of normal human decency, by the time we are middle school age. This is the kind of loser we will end up housing in state prison for most of his life. I can only hope that bottle hit some 300 pound utility worker who proceeded to pummel the little turd mercilessly.
