  I’d be PSYCHED. For whatever comes. It’d galvanize humanity. I think our problem is that we don’t have enough external enemies. That’s why we fight each other. Best game on the planet. Bet if aliums showed up we’d come together to destroy them and have a barbecue, and we’d lose, but it’d be nice to all feel like friends for once.

    I think if we didn’t unite when the air could cripple people, we aren’t uniting over anything external.
