I don't believe we are blind at all. I've seen a number of reports about the amount of natural resources consumed by this country. The media hasn't hid anything. The fact is most people just honestly don't care. As long as the goods keep coming, they will continue consuming. It's all we know.

I think more people understand and know than you might think. The problem is they don't care. there's enough food in america alone to feed the entire world. So what are we thinking?
Anyway, I side with you alittle, but complaining doesn't help . . only action does.

Because we do not have any men willing to stand up and speak for all of us. We desperately need leaders, those who will speak the truth no matter what the cost to themselves. Basically all we have now are men and women who follow the prevailing winds of public opinion, propaganda and special interests. What is true is true for all of us on the planet, not just what is beneficial for the few. Everyone on the planet is on a fragile ship traveling through space, and when we are inspired to all work together for our mutual success, we will then really know what is happening in the world, and will be inspired to work together to make it happen.

They've been tricked into thinking that consumption of material goods is the same as having a quality life.

You're right. We need to be like China and India, consume less and produce more starving children. That makes sense.

Because CNN puts on better commercials than news broadcasts.
