ME: Grammy, why are you sitting here in the dark?
GRAMMY: I’m depressed.
ME: Why? What happened?
GRAMMY: Oh, it’s this whole damn save the planet thing.
ME: (sigh) It is kind of depressing, what with all the talk of global warming and carbon dioxide emissions and dirty fossil fuels.
GRAMMY: Oh, shut up. That’s exactly what I’m talking about. I’m tired of all the moaning and groaning.
ME: But Global warming is real, Grammy. It’s something we have to think about.
GRAMMY: Why? How the hell are we gonna save the damn planet when we can’t even save ourselves? We’re still killing each other for stupid reasons, we don’t take care of our sick and homeless, our damn representatives are too busy fighting each other to do anything good for the people they represent, and we’re gonna save the damn planet? The Earth’s fine. It’s been here over four billion years. It survived asteroid blasts, glaciation, volcanic eruptions, you name it, and it’s still here. It’s not going anywhere.
ME: (sigh) I never looked at it like that. I guess if anyone’s in trouble, it’s us. Not the planet.
GRAMMY: Now you know why I’m so depressed. We're screwed.
