6. Yes, I didn't mean to imply "all humans."

By psychos with bad DNA, I'm referring to all those billionaires and those in power who have the ability to control the rest of us (regardless of their political party or toothless efforts or distracting actions) who clearly will. not. stop.

It really is evil if you think about it. They KNOW what is happening. They KNOW they are going to cause millions of deaths in the near future and untold devastation to the natural world, all other life on Earth and probably collapse of civilization as we know it. But their greedy needs won't change. In fact I often see the tactic of blaming "all humans" who use a computer or smart phone or drive a car as being responsible for this situation. As if the USA isn't fucking built for cars almost exclusively. The whole system is designed so the masses have no real choice and they KNOW that but they enjoy passing the blame onto us, trying to make us feel guilty for their psychotic ways.

What's hard to comprehend for me, is that while they have a lack of true empathy and compassion and, well, humanity, many if not most have kids and grandkids. So I guess they don't care about their lives either. And who wants to live on an island with the rest of the world on fire and the water rising?

As usual you nailed it T.A.

Despite this post, happy holidays!
