The love of my life is convinced this is the end of the Pig Empire. That we've sustained a lethal injury along the artery (the one what pumps oil, not blood) and this all just dinosaur thrashing now.

I'm not inclined to believe him yet, but not because I don't think A) we deserve it, and B) it would be better for the species - but simply because I don't think we're that lucky. Americans will not get a dignified stroll into the shadows like the British did. This has to play out now.
