The beginning of the end.
2006 marks the start of the inevitable downward spiral which humanity would succumb to. Those who speak of the end of the world seem to forget the existence of 2006, after which all good things ceased to get better, and all good things began to dwindle. It marks the formation of the doom which we would all face, the fate which humanity was bound to suffer. We will not get better. We will only get worse, until we destroy ourselves.
After we are gone, a new species will soon take our place. They will create a society not better or worse than our own, but they will repeat the same process under which we went ourselves. This cycle will repeat until Earth becomes nothing more than a half molten rock of lifeless ash, the suffering finally having ended.
The king is dead, long live the king. The king is dead, long live the king.
