Rant

Back in 1979, Jimmy Carter said we don't really have an energy crisis. We have a crisis of self-indulgence and consumption.

I was just reading that.

IMO, it's true. We are the most affluent people in the history of the world. And we fill our lives with pampered actions and selfishness. We crave comfort and trash responsibility. When we should be worried about the erosion of the oceans and the air and the poverty and desperation of Third World People, we get into brutal debates about the softness of toilet paper.

I'm not talking about anyone or anything in particular, just our excessive way of life. And we don't seem to want to change anything.

Just ranting this morning.
