We're just a conceited, naked ape. But in our minds we're some sort of divine legend, and we see ourselves as some sort of god.

I've had a lot of disappointments. I think my biggest disappointment is the failure of elected officials to make good on their promises in regards to the environment or anything else, really. I have very little faith in politicians.
