what exactly do you propose we do to deal with it ?

You addressed this to conserv13, but I'd like to suggest that there are many things we could be doing. Many. The problem is not finding solutions. The problem is breaking through the short-term, abundance-in-my-lifetime, abundance-in-my-country thinking that has put all of us in a fog of denial.

The only thing I'm in denial about is that logic like the above belongs on the free republic. Such communist tendendacies belong on the DU.

No don't bother me now I'm off to save the virgins!
