Thank you so much for posting this, I have been feeling this same way for years. At first I chalked my disillusionment with the way that our species is conducting itself as perhaps just childhood naivete. Now of course I realize that there is a logical disconnect between how we can all recognize that things aren't the way we feel that they should be.My problem has always been two-fold. One, how do we get those that give such a pat response to actually care. And two, what can we effectively do in order to change it. Assuming of course that we have convinced enough people to actually be apart of the solution. Honestly most people are so bogged down by the two + jobs that they have to work in order to survive that they don't have the luxury of time to contemplate how things could/should be better.I think it's past time that there was a fundamental change in the way our species conducts itself. The problem is that some are waiting for an outside force (read: Jesus, Twelfth Imam, Alien Disclosure, or the 2012 awakening) to accomplish this. The problem, and hopefully the solution as well, lies within us. Hopefully we can get on the right track before humanity is just a bunch of fossils in the galactic time line.
