Fine. I actually speak Chinese and I will tell you there
is no such thing as the First Law of Karma but why let
the truth get in the way of your other delusions?

Fine. Not that I will. Or can. The Earth is going to be
here full of happy little humans for a long time to come.
All buying MacDonald's and watching Cable TV. Deal with it.

like you are trying to ruin mine.
