Someone pointed out to me a while back that if we carry on like this then the children will inherit the planet in a poor state. Well I don't like kids. They have a poor work ethic and expect everything handed to them on a plate, so why should I care about them. You can call me self centred and selfish. I'm sure one or too might. But this planet has been heading down this route for a long time. Everyone has known it and done very little about it. I really do believe that this problem has gone past the point of no return. I don't think that any amount of legislation, national or global will fix this. I'm going to live for now. Let's face it. It's what we've all been doing for years which is why we're in this mess. This planet is doomed, so get on your bikes and ride while you can. |
I'm 38, and there was a time when people our age used to fear young whippersnappers coming up behind them on the career path. Must admit having seen what the schools turn out these days, I dont.
Think you may have a point on it being to late though, especialy if China, and the USA dont change
