    No - I'm hoping to join the crowd of super-sophisticates now by talking about how hopeless everything is, how nothing can be changed, how all is lost, how it's all pointless, how only the naive and foolish would care.

    I think it is hopeless but I care a great deal, the two attitudes are not mutually exclusive.

    I assume you have no direct descendants to worry about since you are not a breeder. I do have descendants and I care one hell of a lot about what kind of world they will inherit because I love them more than my own life.

    This image pretty well sums up my attitude to the way things are right at the moment.
