Apocalypse wow...

I've longed held faith that the human race has the power to destroy itself. In fact, I believe it's likely. Actually, I don't think we could destroy the entirety of the race. We are too smart and resourceful a species. Undoubtedly a few would survive, perhaps in caves deep underground, with a well placed clean water spring and heated from the core of the earth. Survivors will dine on rats and bats while waiting for the nuclear night to die down. At any rate, the madness of human population explosion is bound to end eventually, one way or another, and the survivors will probably end up living more like the American Indians, or other 'indigenous' peoples from across the globe, who lived for thousands of years before European ideas of advancement and greed became the norm for 'progress'.  I mean, I like the electric guitar as much as the next head-banger, but one has to wonder, is it worth it? I don't know.

Anyway, Slate did this awesome thing recently where they came up will 120 or so ways America might meet its grizzly end. Granted, these scenarios focus just on the end of American dominance and not a full fledged world-wide Apocalypse, but hey, it's something. Check it out.
