Of course I think politicians are greedy and don't give a fuck about us, JaggedEdge...I was just saying that they do have other interests besides money (few, but a handful).

There's nothing wrong with starting a company, of course not, but the idea of businessmen having more power than anybody else is a scary thought. "Idealistic" is a dirty word for a lot of people, but I believe people compromise their ideals too readily. Is it too much to ask for people to care about more than just money and power? Education needs to change...we're all taught that those are the highest things to aspire for. Sure, they give you the true-love rhetoric, but it seems all success is measured by how financially sound you are. Yes, of course I'm that idealistic...pragmatism compromises the soul. The world we live in is not okay and there are a large number of drastic changes that need to occur.

Of course I believe Darwin...survival of the fittest in NATURE. We basically transcended nature (for the worst) a long time ago, and our metal and sludge can't be considered a legitimate Darwinian obstacle for the world's species. People can only stick their fingers in their ears and hum for so long about global warming. And yes, species have been going extinct forever, but not on this SCALE since the dinosaurs. And yes, climate change is natural, but again, not on this SCALE.
