Here's a sobering thought. It was only 70,000 years ago that man almost became extinct. Estimates are that there were only 2,000 people at that point. And that was before man was doing things that messed up DNA.

I agree with you. It can't be fixed. The best we're going to get is pockets of survival, where there are still people who've taken care of their bodies and minds and developed the skills, individual responsibility, and ethics that are necessary for a society to survive.

It is sobering and already happening. I cannot believe the large numbers of people that simply do not participate in civilized society. Existing on handout, scamming, not working, not raising their children, ETC. Zombie like as someone else on this thread said, such an accurate description.

Other people are becoming educated, working hard, producing- in most cases successful. Just so many that are not it boggles my mind.
