We as a species are Spiritually Dead!!! Only calamity,& destruction can fall on us to bring about something that's more in harmony w/ Nature.

One plant kills 21,000 hogs each day? Homo Sapiens deserves to vanish from this planet! Seriously. People, please stop eating meat!!!! Become vegetarians Trust me, you will be ok
