I read this and I know you have been labeled as a troll but this rant
brought back a memory along these same lines.  Here in WV we had about
a $3 billion unfunded liability in the state retirement system for
teachers, which has subsequently been reduced but it was about $3
billion at the time.  Anyway the administration at the time, 1998 or
there abouts was looking at the possibility of selling bonds to fix
the problem.  I was talking to several people on a road trip one day
about the issue.  Several of them had children and were in their mid
to late twenties.  They could have cared less even though I tried to
explain to them that there children's, children's, children would be
paying on that if they let the legislature/administration do it.  So
my question to you is, why should I give a crap if someone is
"irresponsible and stupid"?  I have no children, single and from
family history, I will probably be dead within the next 10-20 years.
If the people that should give a crap about things that are
"irresponsible and stupid" don't, then I sure as heck don't feel any
compulsion to save their butts.  My guess is that there will be
adequate resources to be available during my lifetime and when I am
dead and gone, it will be someone's problem.

Well said that man! Unfortunately there are people who just don't care.
There are even some delusional fundies such as Dimwitted Dave who think that
by destroying the environment they'll speed up the second coming: Believing
in it is the first mistake; but using it as the excuse for selfishness in
the form of environmental vandalism just puts the cherry on the icing of the
fuckwit cake!
