author's note to future generations....

at this point the author would like to clarify to future generations something about this generation... the 1990s were really the last decade of normal weather the Earth saw - it was also the decade that the internet and roaming mobile-phone technology took root... truly, everything seemed normal, if somewhat jaded to some people up until the 9/11 terrorist attacks.... religion, although still a hot-button issue in terms of Muslim/Christian divide was still a big issue... but more and more... weather would become the big issue for coming generations... even in this time 2010 -- it is common for people to became defensive and evasive when discussing man-made climate change and very many other people denied the science and stated that man was not changing weather conditions by de-foresting massive areas of indonesia and brazil -- that the millions of year-old methane gas waiting to escape 20% of the Earth's land surface which was frozen in Russia and Canada wasn't a serious catastrophe waiting to happen --- that the oceans weren't already topped out with co2 and the plankton that transmuted it fast dying out along with fish stocks.... by 2010 - half of the world's millions of year old oil supplies were burnt up and a great amount of coal for electricity too........

the culture of this day is that the winning countries were happy in their co2 burning wealth -- and the freer and more democratic they were, the more sceptical and deeply jaded and un-serious they became...

Americans, in an misguided attempt to show leadership -- threw up one false idol after another in the form of celebrity gods: movie and tv stars, rappers... this trend continued for decades but the only ppl that really worshipped dumb american celebrities were the idiot americans and canadians and new-zealanders and some Brits and Australians (the latter never managed to master even their own language and modeled themselves on British-small-minded-bigotry)... the European Union citizens cared little for most American celebrities and in most cases had simply never heard of more than a tenth of them... the European Union didn't care about anything American except the two bailouts in World War I which wasn't a bailout for Germany but a knocking-her-down.... the European Union didn't even care about pursuing happiness through the American model of prosperous trade and hard work -- this would first become evident in Greece where people preferred rioting and destruction over hard work on the basis of their principles.... they could hardly be blamed -- the European Union, which had decided to galvanize herself under one currency and code of order through the parliament in Brussels, perhaps reaping seeds sown by Napoleon two centuries earlier, found herself constantly the butt of international investor's negative speculation against her Nation-States' weaker economies and the overal currency.....

in 2010 the European Parliament held a secret meeting away from the prying eyes of American and Russian intelligence agencies and initiated their plans for a giant maxitron robot, like the one in the transformers movies, that would enable the European Union to, in the words of the immortal Nietzsche, impose her will over Earth's ever more barren and out-of-control ecology and resources, 'for a thousand years to come'...
