Whatever Happened to Us?

Lately there has been an increase in two very disturbing developments among our species. While they are not comparable at all in terms of seriousness, they both indicate a continuing downward slide for humanity.

The less serious one, but still sickening, is the alarming increase in homemade videos appearing online showing grotesquely obese women with pendulous, oversized breasts and incredible rolls of body fat posing in teeny bikinis, as if they were lovely fashion models. Some of the women claim that they are starting their "weight-loss journey" while others simply stand there and slowly turn around to show their disgusting bare butts, like that's a turn-on to someone. (If it is, we have even bigger problems.)

The more dire development is the increase in gun violence directed at strangers. When someone murders a person they know personally for a reason that makes sense -- not that I am saying murder makes sense -- like marital  infidelity, child custody battles and financial disputes, we don't feel threatened like we do when it's a random mass shooting. But those are happening with greater frequency, like the one earlier today at a Christian school in Madison, WI where a student and a teacher both died, along with the teenaged shooter. Several others are hospitalized in critical condition.

Something bad is happening to once-normal people. I wonder what it is. Could it simply be that our time is up? Maybe those mysterious drones hovering overhead are picking out houses for after the coming Fall of Man. New Jersey is, after all, a great place to live if you're into city life but still want a backyard.
