I didn't really get the point of the article. But I sure enjoyed BigNick's rejoinder.
I guess Haha is waiting for the end of civilization as we know it (this time - as there have been several such ends in human history).
Haha - you are older than me. Sure I believe our current modern civilization will end some day - and maybe even within the next 100 years. But somehow I don't expect it to occur within my lifetime - or if it does, I'll be too old to care. Such major changes take time.

Audrey, I share your basic philosophy and have a hard time managing a whole lot of hand-wringing for what may come to pass after I, er, pass. Maybe my childfree status makes me more indifferent to the future, but it is hard for me to generate fears for future generations that might not happen.
