Yes, I realise this Carl. This is why I keep saying that there is no hope for us as a species. We can't even treat each other nice, how are we supposed to treat other species and our environment nice?

I know this sounds defeatist, but as I said to someone on Friday @ work - I'd rather be a realistist and admit when something is broken, than live life with false optimism. False optimism is growing, and it's the bane of our society. When something is broken, it IS broken. Saying it isn't broken and hoping it'll go away *doesn't* fix the problem. Sadly, too many people live with false optimism in todays' society. In reality, it's the too hard basket, but people don't want to admit it.
