That's true Jedi. But it could blow tomorrow for all anyone knows. The super volcano that is in Yellowstone has been acting up for the last couple of years. Parts of the park have been closed because of the sulphorous smell and the mudpots that have created "dead zones" where no animal or plant life has survived. I read an article about a year ago, that said the last time the caldera at Yellowstone blew, there was about 10 ft. of ash along the Gulf Coast of the southern US. Not a good thing even if you survive the initial blast. Let's hope we go another couple thousand years at least. As Dennis Miller says, I won't care who my descendants are by then.

It's estimated that we may have tens or hundreds of thousands of years before a major eruption happens at Yellowstone.
