I appreciate this forum, but question the priorities of society its categories imply. Based on questions & answers people have posted, many Yahoo users are clearly awake, aware, and very concerned about the future of humankind and the planet in general. Our collective fate rests largely in how we treat our global life support systems -- our environment. Yet this forum, like much of our society, occupies so much time and energy with "concerns" over comparatively trival things such as "Beauty & Style, Consumer Electronics, Games & Recreation, Sports," etc... The longer we keep ignoring the REALLY BIG PROBLEMS we face, the less likely we'll be to reverse or solve them. Why isn't "Environment" a major heading here, and in the larger context of society? Shouldn't we, as a people, start making this a primary focus of our attention? If we don't sustain our global life support systems, nothing else will matter. You found this under Science & Math. How many others bother to look here?
