How America is Going to End

Slate has an article about what will lead to the downfall of America. There is an interactive guide to choosing your own apocalypse based on five events and compares it to the most common slate readers' response. The article also has a single page with all 144 events, my favorites, bottled water, oldocracy, intelligent design and of course Voluntary Human Extinction.

No surprise here, I chose my tops. Loose Nukes, Cronyism, synthesized super virus, super-aids, and to top it off militant islam. I hold a firm belief that our end is by our own hands.... and super-aids.

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
