A way to live. Underground.

I’m fearful. About drone warfare. Some day,  just about everybody will have a drone. Capable of spying on anyone. And quite possibly, the drone can carry and launch a lethal weapon. A bomb. Maybe wipe out an entire football stadium, and everyone in it. An atomic bomb is horrendous enough. But with a drone to deliver it, wow! Double wow!! Used to be that war had to be waged by a nation. Drones make it possible for individual madmen to wipe out just about everyone. Imagine drone warfare. The guy with the most sophisticated drones may be all-powerful. Maybe the only safe way to live will be underground. Deep, deep into the recesses of Mother Earth. Maybe some day we’ll discover life on Mars. Martians living underground. Going there after most of life above ground was eliminated. Maybe a million years ago. When an advanced civilization invented drones. Wiped out life above. By bombs launched from drones. The few survivors went underground. Never to come out again. Because of fear. Of drones, drones, drones. The whole planet went kaput. No more atmosphere. No more water. No more life. Unless one found a way to live. Underground. –Jim Broede
