On my block, a lot of people walk their dogs and I always see them walking
along with their little poop bags.  This, to me, is the lowest activity in
human life.  Following a dog with a little scooper.  Waiting for him to go
so you can walk down the street with it in your bag.  If aliens are watching
this through telescopes, they're going to think the dogs are the leaders of
the planet.  If you see two life forms, one of them's making a poop, the
other one's carrying it for him, who would you assume is in charge?

I say, if this is where we're at after 50,000 years of civilization, let's
just give up.  I'm serious, let's pack it in.  It's not worth it.  Let's just
say the human race as an idea didn't quite work.  It seemed good at first,
we worked on it for a long time, but it just didn't pan out.  We went to
the moon but still somehow wound up carrying little bags of dog doody around
with us.  We just got mixed up somewhere.  Let's just give it over to the
insects or whoever else is next in line.
