Whether the world is moving rapidly into global warming or whether it is moving into a period of global cooling, we should be concerned that our activities are not without consequence to outselves, the collective communtiy of humantiy, and the environment in which we live.  The ignorance is amazing, but not surprising ina  global age where capitalism is spreading through the veins of the world like a hypnotic opium.  The excstacy won't last and neither will we.  The sobering of the world would mean a purging of the toxin that has immobilzed and left many commatose.  I do not mean to sound cynical towards capitalism, but capitalsim values the individual or individual group's interests over the good the indivual and collective humanity.  The US has fallen asleep.  Such sedation will only serve to allow for dreams and nightmares removed form the reality of the concious state that is our reality.  How long can we say it doesn't affect me until it does in the most forcefull and terroristic way.  The only terrorists we have to fear is the ego within us that desire to consume relentlessly.  Whether science approves it or disapproves it, we must concern ourselves with how we are responsible for this world and ourselves and be aware that all actions result in concequences(good and bad).  In the end whent he world is swallowed up by its own volition both the liberal and the conservative, the christian and the atheist, the rich and the poor, the white and the nonwhtie will all be victims, engulfed in neglected self-fulfilling prophecy, to such gluttony of power and indiviudal pursuit.  What argument will you extend when the world has been exhausted and sickened by mann that it will it eaither whither or purge man from it inorder to reset time?
