Playing Chicken with the Apocalypse

The problem with this message, as with other messages of its kind which proclaim that we need to “do something” about the eminent destruction of the earth, is the fact that the message is not heard very well through out all channels of communication. A very insignificant percentage of the world population has the ability to access an e-book much less have the money/time/willingness to read this particular point in this particular e-book. Thought the fact of us approaching our eminent destruction cannot be denied, none of us, alone, can do anything about it. The common man, an average Joe who has the luck to be born in a first world country (a very small percentage of the entire world’s population) simply does not have the time or desire to “save the world” when he has other aspects of LIFE that he needs to look after. I can agree with the fact that someone-s has to stand up and stop using so much gas and start conserving few but I for one count myself out – I have to pay college bills, meet a girl, raise a family, and maybe even earn a 401k if the future allows… all I can do is hope that there is a future.
