Shimrod ....It was a fine post containing all the frustration that most of us feel over so many wasted years.
Very few of us live our lives any longer. we are in hock up to our necks, while Capitalism constructs ever more efficient ways of exchanging our lives on earth, for worthless crap.

Don't worry about Teribus, the insulated soundproof box that he lives in, ensures that he feels no pain.

I have read that in lower life forms, the brain is not sufficiently developed to feel pain......or empathy.

Hope you have any happy years to compensate for the shit...Ake
