So last night I was sitting with my niece at dinner, and a truck passes by and says "Vroom vroom! It's a truck! It's driving away!" and I didn't hesitate to say "vroom vroom! Pollute pollute!". Nobody at the table was impressed.
People are too optimistic. It's so overdone, that if hapiness was a drug, we'd all be smoking optimism. People seem to enjoy the fact that they can chug along in their cute little Honda's and ignore the environmental effect. And no matter how much the media is forcing into people's heads about global warming, people like to pretend it's not a big threat and it won't hurt them. It's disgusting.
I have hope for the future, but it depends if you're speaking of the future of human species. I think Rob Instigator has it spot on. We're like alcohol to the world. Once we it gets too much in it's system, it will puke us all out.
