There is so much evil and stupidity in the world right now.  I'm really on the fence about whether the survival of the human race would be a good thing or not, or whether I should even care.  I'm not saying we should cause ourselves to go extinct.  I'm just starting to wonder if I should care any more.  Maybe we deserve it.  We lie, cheat, steal, and trash the planet.  We rape, we murder, we slaughter each other in wars.  We fight for money, and land, and power.  We slaughter each other over meaningless things like whose religion is the best.  We are nothing but destructive parasites, stuck on a tiny prison planet.  

If an alien life form showed up from outer space and evaluated the situation, I wonder if they would see any redeeming value in us at all.
