Hey Ughster just read your post now, I would add that your last thread, which I think was "Listen! The World Depends on You!" was a great read for me.
Overall I agree to what JohnK has said. People are going to continue doing what they do.Several of the facts(more-so your statistics) you have stated flow by people all the time but they choose to ignore/deny the and live life as usual.
I still enjoy your reads and I hope you put out many more in the future, good-luck with your current and future goals.
