"My heart is broken in the face of the stupidity of my species. I can't cry about it. In a way I'm inoculated. I've suffered this pain for so long. …The West has packed the whole world on a runaway train. We are on the road to extincting ourselves as a species."
- Joni Mitchell on what inspired her to write this song, which is included in her new album "Shine" the best thing to happen in 2007!

Thanks for sharing :)
I remember reading somewhere that the average time for a given civilization to sprout, flourish and then destroy itself is about 10 thousand years. I guess we are quite near that point and our only hope is to rid the world of this homo sapiens stupiditus breed that is among us.
Reminds me of the brilliant ending of the Monty Python Galaxy Song which goes something like this:
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth
