We've botched the job.

Oh, so many life forms. A tree, for instance. So beautiful. I can sit and comtemplate a tree all day. And marvel. At the beauty. Or a sunset. Or just the feeling of consciousness. Of being alive. A thinking being. And then I look still closer. And I see politicians. Trying to run a country. Republicans. Democrats. Idiots. And I have to ask myself, why would god create such vermin? And I conclude that maybe god didn't do it. God allowed us humans to create. To practice being gods. And we've botched the job. --Jim Broede
