5. Why convince them?

Jul 2013

it's happening regardless of whether or not they believe it.

Their will be winners and losers in this gigantic mess we have put ourselves into and those who choose to ignore the warnings are predestining themselves to their own fate. (not that we, who know what's happening, really have all that much control over we happens to us)

I have given up a long time ago trying to fix stupid or convince stupid of the facts.

It serves no purpose other than driving yourself crazy.
