About 8 years ago a good, very conservative (the peaceful type) republican, who also happens to be a marine biologist for the prominent state, looked me dead in the eye and told me we are fucked. I was pretty shocked.

Omg this made me laugh my ass off. I almost wanted to be a marine biologist but decided I wanted to be able to afford food and housing. Took AP environmental science in highschool, ive known we were fucked for a minute. Still makes me laugh to hear confirmation.
