12. Honestly, I'm partly joking, but I'm also pretty misanthropic at this point ...

I've made no bones about my belief that the world is way-overpopulated with human beings at this stage, and I'm quite concerned with the welfare of the little remaining wildlife, and wild places still on this planet.

IMHO, people are destroying this world for virtually every other species.

So, I don't jump for joy when reading of medical developments that may mean large numbers of people living much longer lives, as a matter of course.

I just don't think it's 'that good of a thing'.

I realize that makes me pretty much of a dick in many people's eyes.

But at least I'm consistent.
