Plagued

We're a declining world. China and the U.S. use 40% of the "world's" energy, much of it from greenhouse house gas producing coal. Austerity measures are being enacted across much of Europe. Sub-Sarahan Africa will be a lifeless wasteland within 20 years, quite possibly much less. Rain forests continue to be slaughtered at an alarming rate in S.America. There is a plague on the planet. It walks upright and with the combination of "superior ambition and superior ability" will sooner, rather than later destroy, the only place we ALL have to live. This "plague" breeds rapidly, in virtually any environment and has not freed itself from many of the dogmas and superstitions that "plagued" its ancestors. There ARE antibodies to the plague. But throughout the plague's history these antibodies are more often than not outwitted, outmaneuvered, and outsourced as both "expendable labor" or "cannon fodder" for wars of empire the virulent strain of the plague has an unquenchable thirst for. The "plague" of course is mankind. The "cure" will be its eradication. The "injustice" of the solution is only matched by the "justice" rendered to a planet that will once again(eventually) teem with the diversity it had before the plague arrived.
