Dear God! Just as I will be winding down, trying to enjoy my canned Ensure and watching the next gen of talk shows espousing the evils of teen pregnancy, I'll have to contend with global overcrowding and starvation. My /. karma isn't bad but my universal karma must really be in the toilet. GEEZ!!!
The real reason for this is that by then the world will be crowded by geeks, sitting in front of their computers downloading pr0n from the internet instead of having a real life. "No need to go outside, I've got a 10*dsl line baby". :-)
