“Good evening, Survivors! It’s your buddy Nate, and thaaaat’s right, if you can hear my voice, you are officially a survivor. Unofficial numbers list human casualties -- that’s deaths, folks -- at somewhere close to 30 million in the US alone. Taken by surprise by the packs of roaming clones. Close to two thousand dead or missing in our listening area. That’s, of course, so far. In more dense areas, casualties are much, much higher. And none of these numbers are counting the clones we’ve managed to kill in the meantime.
“On that note, the Federal Government has issued an official statement. Here’s the gist: if you are managing to kill our silver-clad friends, stop it! Self defense is still self defense, but until we can get a handle on their civil rights status -- I’m not making this up -- the President says indiscriminate killing of the clones is tantamount to genocide and will not be tolerated.
“I suppose he has a point. After all, they didn’t ask to be created. They didn’t ask to be let out. What we have here is the very definition of lying in the bed we’ve made for ourselves. God help us.
“Lord, now I’m depressed. Here’s some AC/DC. I need a beer.”
