It is amazing how a small percentage of people mess up everything for the rest. Just this morning I saw an idiot using his large truck to intimidate others. He tailgated and made his truck surge forward when behind others while creating a cacophony of noise with his straight exhaust pipes. I bet he also…

Nothing lasts forever. All things will end. Our sun has a best before date, and already our planet had many extinction events. This is good! Imagine if all things last forever!
