and what would happen if we did nothing?

would we postpone the apocalypse? would we hurry it along?

and what if we just sat down and talked? would anyone listen?

and what do you believe about the nature of humanity? because it has everything to do with this.

and is a "surgical" approach any more commendable than carnage? can you condemn carnage? can you condemn surgery?

will we be saved by love? by art? by reason? has anyone, ever? on that larger scale which is looming and threatening to overpower and consume?

what did we have, what was there, before love, and art, and reason?

whose code of ethics will we ultimately deem superior?

and the rest of them? of us? what happens?
