I see the butterfly, or moth (I think it may be a butterfly though)... But looking past that, on the wing I see what could appear to be a snakes face. (I don't literally see a snake)

Can't figure out if you guys are trolling or not....

Under 200 Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan.
1000s of civilians dead as a direct result of the invasion.
Every dead civilian, every dead soldier, every dead insurgent: a fucking waste.
The world will be a better place when the humans are gone.

The world will be a better place when the humans are gone.

the concept of 'better' will be gone also. the world will just be a place.
