Well, all this is interesting to me, anyway, and that's what matters here. The Internet is a terrible thing for someone like me, who finds almost everything interesting.
Oh man, I know what you mean. Whenever I'm out in traffic, or in public with a lot of people, my admiration of humanity declines quickly. As long as I can stay home I love people as a whole, but when I meet too many of them I change my mind.
Actually, I just thought this cartoon was funny. The people I meet aren't so bad. Just human. Anonymous online comments will certainly make you despair for our species, but people are never that bad face-to-face.
On the other hand, natural human traits which served us well living in small, isolated villages - superstition, herd mentality, suspicion of outsiders - serve us poorly in the 21st Century.

My favorite line from the movie "Men In Black:"
" A PERSON is smart. PEOPLE are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it."
