Perry...lol...NOW I feel embarrassed...

It's not that at all, and I REALLY don't mean to sound pessimistic, it's just that I have studied this stuff for years now, and NO-ONE sems to be doing much about solving what I TRULY consider to be the biggest issue facing the human race right now.
Global warming, arab nutcases (potentially redundant?), Hillary vs Obama vs McCain, declining education standards etc. etc ALL pale in irrelevant comparison, that's all.
I DO believe there are short term protective measures and long term solutions,
I JUST DON'T THINK ANYONE IS WORKING ON THEM with enough attention, funding, concern or diligence. Every politician I have ever spoken to at civic, state or federal levels (mayors, governors, congress and senate level!) either ignores it, or is way too stupid to understand the severity of the issue.
