How can you like the human race?

Gas prices are down and when I go to the supermarket I always notice a parked car or two going, with the windows closed, so that it will be nice and cool when the person is finished their shopping. I curse them under my breath. We all know that we're destroying the polar ice caps, still we keep at destroying them. Yesterday, stopping by a friend's to return a tool, I saw his ex-wife trying to revive plants fried by the recent heat wave– 90 in April. She said that on Bill Maher's show they said the polar ice caps are all that keep the sun from burning up the planet, and they're going to be gone in 30 or 40 years. What's the point in even trying? she says; though she worries about her grandchild. Myself I've left no hostages to the human race, and wonder if I won't get out just in time, before we're all torched, by our own hand.
