We, at least at the level of laity, had a weak grasp, part of which had been engineered.<br /><br />We were bred to enjoy life to the fullest and not really worry that much about what was going on all around us. And we did just that - and we believed the perpetual, exponential thing because we always stopped well short of carrying that scenario through to its obvious, inevitable outcome.<br /><br />With this threat I believe our society wants to remain far behind the power curve. We're not willing to confront scientific reality. The consequences and implications of acknowledging it could be quite powerful and frightening. Best stay in the comfort zone.<br /><br />The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-19187254415821914432017-10-19T23:16:02.787-07:002017-10-19T23:16:02.787-07:00You're right, Toby, that's always been the...<br />You're right, Toby, that's always been the way. The Americans used "no taxation without representation" as justification for the Revolution but they think it's find to impose that on others, fellow citizens at that, indefinitely.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-35573165455993164752017-10-19T19:32:50.685-07:002017-10-19T19:32:50.685-07:00Gwynne Dyer got it right years ago didn't he?

We expected as much when the hurricane hit. <br /><br />In my various travels around the world I have found American territories and possessions, including Puerto Rico, to be rather sad, sort of like the massive slums in most US cities. There is something wrong with the American dream when the government forces so many to live in poverty. Why anyone would want to live in the US or any of its possessions puzzles me.
