Unfortunately, I won't care what the history books will say because I will long be dead and forgotten as well.

I cannot hope in the hereafter because there simply is no plausible basis for such, as nice as the thought of justice in the hereafter would be.

No. If there is justice to be had, it would need to be in this lifetime to be considered such. Anything less is our failing of today.

sighs Such a crummy species we can be. The only thing I can hold on to is the fact that human progress has trended towards the better and hopefully it will continue that direction (presuming we don't obliterate ourselves). It's too bad I won't be around to see that.
