global climate change

A man - why is it always a man? Is it that blatantly obvious to everyone that of course a woman would take a boat? Are we less stubborn, less faithful, more open-minded about being saved by knights in dirty wet clothes? But, nevertheless, a man - is in his house and he hears that there is going to be a flood, and he needs to leave, soon, and of course he can't swim. He thinks, no i don't have to, God will take care of me. The flood starts to rise and a fireman or a sheriff or a cop or a slightly more fucking responsible neighbor, somebody, anybody, maybe a lifeguard comes by and offers to teach him to swim, somebody comes by and says, Go. Leave. Your house will flood. And he says no i don't have to, God will take care of me. And the water gets higher and he goes on his roof and a canoe or a boat or two guys on a log show up and they say, It is dangerous. The water is swift. Come with us. We have room for one more. And he says, no i don't have to, God will take care of me. And then a helicopter comes to get him - it always finishes with a helicopter - and everyone else is gone, they've left, they listened, and he is balancing on his roofline with the water up to his neck, and they lower their helicopter ladder and say Come, Now, Please. And he says, no i don't have to, God will take care of me. And he drowns, because there is high rushing water and he can't swim. And he says to God, why didn't you take care of me? And God says, Get out, you fucking jackass. Out!
