I grew up on doom and gloom. It's in my DNA. My family was Plymouth Brethren and I spent Sundays (and a lot of other days) listening to sermons on the Book of Revelation, the elders dispkaying complex charts and timelines. I had nightmares about being left behind in the Rapture.

My dad, Dave Hunt, was a prominent Christian author who wrote books about the Last Days, among other things. The thing is, a lot of those prophesies seem to be coming true today. If my dad were alive today, he'd be having the time of his life, he'd be in his element. I don't agree with everything I was taught as a child, but I like to think my dad would be proud of me carrying on his legacy to some extent.

The fact is, humankind's greatest achievement is that we can now obliterate ourselves and we keep getting over to doing it. No wonder we are feeling gloomy.

It's been too long, Joe. I've missed your writing here.

That was inspiring! ♥
