Most people seem to think they are going to stand aside, apart from it all, and watch the world collapse.
No. You won't be standing aside watching it from the outside. You, and I, and everyone we know will be very much victims of the collapse.
Why bring that up? Because we damn well better start doing something right now to prevent it. And nobody will get off their fat asses to do something until they realize the urgency of the problem.
And to those who say this post means I'm rolling over and accepting it, they got it backwards. We better start realizing that this is not something abstract that will affect the other guy. This is something that WILL kill us if we don't get serious about solving the problem. Now. Not next month. Not next year. NOW.
You, yes you, have a loaded gun pointed right at your face. Right now. Do something, damn it!
In the grand scheme of things, nothing else matters right now. NOTHING ELSE MATTERS right now.
Not March madness.
Not shutting down puppy mills.
Not cruelty to farm animals.
Not what's the latest tech gadget.
Not have you read any good books lately.
Not the Broccoli diet.
Not the gay pride marches.
Not equal pay for equal work.
Not high fashion.
Not Grammy or Oscar awards.
Not a one of your favorite liberal causes matters at all when there's no human life left on the planet.
We are hurtling full speed toward the extinction of the human race, and until each individual person comes to realize that "I will die when the ecosystem fails." "My children will die when the ecosystem fails." "My friends and family will die when the ecosystem fails."
Not only will this kill some remote, pitiable brown people on the other side of the globe, that we can tsk-tsk about from the safety of our bunker. This will kill us all. And until we come to our senses and realize that, we are doomed.
Put down that video game and do something now. Do something or die.
