Worm food
2018 was not a good year for some people in Parkland, Florida which is 8 miles from where I live.
In Parkland on February 14, 2018 a stupid fucking asshole murdered students and teachers. Seventeen people – fourteen students and three staff members – were fatally shot and seventeen others were wounded, making the shooting one of the deadliest school massacres.
In Parkland on May 17, 2018 the universe killed a young woman. During a thunderstorm she was struck by lightning.
None of these people could have predicted they would be worm food at a young age, never to exist again.
Meanwhile in my Florida town a 16 year old moron was killed on May 12, 2018 during the night. His stupidity killed him. He wanted to cross the street to get to the other side so he walked in front of a car. The driver could not stop in time.
"Some people are going to get hurt, other people are going to get lucky, and you won't find any rhyme or reason in it, nor any justice. The universe that we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but pitiless indifference."
-- Richard Dawkins
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
