It does seem that the directions of humanity are ill-conceived and self destructive, but " hope springs eternal ."
Anyone else?
Yes it sucks. The only thing I can do is not support either candidate and vote for Gary Johnson. Am only a single vote but if enough of us pull together we will be heard.
Maybe this time around enough of us will vote for neither of the above to get some attention. That's better than a meteor and less permanent.
The 2016 presidential election cycle is a hoot. A meteor strike? Not so much.
When the game is structured so that you will lose and hope is hopeless, best to ignore it and be surprised when the hatchet falls. Alternatively change the rules.
Not to get too nitpicky but "asteroid" would be way more appropriate than "meteor." Meteors are small and generally synonymous with shooting stars... #ITookAstronomy101

actually you might be "on target' here...I was watching a documentary on your nuclear arsenal ya know the one controlled by equipment from the 70s and the one that will take literally trillions of dollars to redo.....yup, and they are saying it's not "if" something goes wrong, now it's "when"If we are gona go, I say we do it with a bang and light off all our nuclear firecrackers.
I propose we transfer our nuclear missiles to the post office. We affix stamps, and paint the words "Super Fast Expedited Service, 30 minutes or less guaranteed anywhere anytime." to the missiles. Then we give the red button to a random postal worker everyday. I am sure some disgruntled postal worker will push it. It will give a whole new meaning to the term "going postal".
I think I am gona watch "Dr.Strangelove and how I learned to love the bomb." today.

poof and the world ends with a lot of us burned and puking
Just as an aside, there cannot be an "accidental" detonation. Nuclear detonations are very deliberate by the very nature of the physics involved. No booms. Just lots of radioactive particulate matter to deal with in an accident.

I don't know much about it, only that you have enough to blow up the planet four times over and that it was supposed to be a deterrent that has turned into a massive problem
Better yet, let's shoot them all up into space and set them off somewhere around the orbit of Mercury. We can all celebrate with a fireworks show that the whole world can see.
