See there are some individuals I like. But humans, as a species, hmmm, not so much (but I am a commuter, through two cities, and am willing to be accused of bias :) )
Oh and a hill! Wonderful! I've not been to Rome, but I've seen Roman Holiday and heard, more recent, horror stories.
Sounds like a great superfun time!
Ack... hmm... I'm stepping back from restoration or shoring up possibilities. I'm just not willing to give anyone the opportunity to lather-rinse-repeat. Not yet. Tea and bikkits however... ~grin~
The last mass extinction at the KT event wipe out a staggering 96% of species on this planet. In the last 200 years mankind has contributed to the destruction of about 98.8% of the species. Thus from a paleontological point of view mankind has caused a mass extinction! In fact the worst recorded in Geological history.
I certainly think it's something to consider. I've certainly had thoughts that bringing children into the world as it stands is something to consider very carefully, beyond the mere practicalities.

I used to do the Roman Commute four times a day.
But still, overall, I like people.

And surely it's not necessary to take a shower with someone to trust them? ;)

I do want to visit Italy. Rome and then the little north-west corner where Chianti comes from ~grin~
Not necessary, no, but it is a method I am sometimes willing to try ~bigger grin~

Tuscany. Florence. The hills.... the vines...

I have to go to Naples sometime this spring, once I have a passport... :)
As for showers...

Re: ELE!
There are individuals I like and love, but as a species I often find us to be vile.
