69. I guess I'm cynical as well

I've been around superficial, clueless people my whole life, but I always thought that most of them would wake up when real threats face humanity. Apparently the wolves have to actually be at their door before they accept it is real. Even then, many will cry, "Why didn't anyone warn us?"

"Dumbing down of Americans" at a time when most people have the entire world at their fingertips. There is no shortage of information, but a big shortage of willingness to learn.
