Pandoras Box ( A cautionary tale for the 21st century )

Cartoon depicting Pandora opening the box of woes for mankind with a modern twist.

I just love reading mythological stories they were and are the best cautionary stories ever done, written using Metaphors that are like Gemstones in their brilliance and in their worth to the reader.  I just thought Mankind of late has most definitely added to the herd of Woes released by Pandora in her day,I added an escaping entity that personifies Religion sneaking off behind her back. You know however you feel about religion ,in general you have to agree it presents a story that most definitely controls how we humans act ,think and behave and not always for the good,especially when we use it for nefarious means,like controlling people ,governments for our own ends and most likely not the  gods we are saying we represent.

     As humans we have the technological ability to shape the actual Planet with little more knowledge of how it works than a six year old moving around dirt in his Parents flower garden. So we are defiantly in the standings to now be one of the Woes right up there with say The black plague .

  Then I thought about what a complete clueless knob Mitt Romney is and how someone like him could really be about as horrible as an Asteroid hitting the planet about now,especially since we Have to deal with Climate change today, which is most defiantly as serious as said asteroid hurtling towards us , which is to bad because  if it was that frigging simple ,like say we could all watch on TV from a NASA Space image this huge megalith on its firery way to destroy us , I would guess we would all come together toot sweet and figure out a way to stop it  (like watch that movie "Armageddon" and convince some gun hoe people to go land on it and blow it up with some Nuclear hardware,thus proving once and for all why we make this F^&%&@g stuff in the first place . But you know CO2 is invisible so it probably will not happen until it's to late ,I mean gosh those fat cats that are backing the Republicans (Mr.Romney) are all those oil and coal tycoons and I dare say they are not going to give up their oil or their coal rights are they? "NOT" ! why just  oil that's actually possible to extract from the ground alone is worth around 27 trillion $$$$$ just sitting there waiting to put some fast cash in those rich guys over size pockets, any way I like drawing Monsters ,Mitt seemed to fit like the last corner piece of a jigsaw puzzle.
