Take my most pressing issue: Nuclear Power

It is a great source of electricity that each one of us enjoys.

But it is also a source of great destruction.

One the one hand each of us in our own individual use of the power is enriched, but on the other it could mean the end of life as we know it in a matter of days via man's losing control of the operation.

It is anti-human at it's worst use.

But we as a society carry on as if it is no-thing to be concerned about.

Nuclear power is the greatest example of how we are ultimately treating the world around us, but there are many lesser examples which we also deny and deny and deny.
