We don't have to save the world. The world is big enough to look after itself. What we have to be concerned about is whether or not the world we live in will be capable of sustaining us in it.

At face value, it appears to be nothing more than a potty-mouthed diatribe, that rails against the pointlessness of existence.
However, by interspersing banal drivel, with shocking profanity, HAB is provoking the reader to question the futility of it all, much like Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness challenges the reader to examine their own morals and values in the context of "The Horror".
What HAB has done is a work of literal genius, shockingly crude in its simplicity, but devastatingly effective in its execution.
With the almost guaranteed immortality that the Net will record his thoughts for posterity, it's heartening to know that future generations will study and analyse his thoughts, long after the original author has passed on.

And to think that it all started with me taking the <profanity> out of someone asking if anyone used it as a business tool.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
