Scares me.

I limit my intake of news. I have to. The more I watch, the more I realize, the best thing that could ever possibly happen to this planet would be the complete extinction of the Human species. Thinking like that scares me.
Since it's Halloween today I decided to focus on that idea. What scares me?
What scares me is that I live in a country that goes out of it's way to threaten, argue with and use multiple other means to stop a country that is by most accounts ten years away from a functioning nuclear device from obtaining one. A country that does this while at the exact same time borrows billions of dollars, gives most favored trade nation status to and extends multiple other benefits to a country that by all accounts is one of biggest human rights violators in the world. Has more nuclear bombs than almost every other country save for Russia and the U.S. and has one of the largest armies in the world.
What scares me is that France has for more than several years now condemned much of the U.S.'s actions in the Middle East but at the same time provides U.S. intelligence agencies facilities to engage in persuasive interrogation.
What scares me is that there are whole countries starving to death and have not seen rain for a year or more but the most important thing to a voter in the United States is whether or not their candidate is a homosexual.
What scares me is a pharmaceutical company will spend billions on the development of a pill that prolongs erections but according to UNICEF the goal numbers set by multiple nations for children's world health are woefully under achieved.
What scares me is that a man that wins a Nobel Prize for his efforts to make others aware of global warming flies around the world in one year (putting more pollutants in the atmosphere in one year that some companies) than I have my entire life.
What scares me is that people take religion seriously.
What scares me is that people kill in the name of a God that may or may not exist.
But what scares me most of all?
What scares me most of all is I'm just like everyone else. Everything that makes the human species scary makes me scary. That's what scares me most of all.
