Hey my first star, whoever that was thank you!

This post is basically a bump. I'd like to hear what you think.

Does laughing at the problem really do justice to its importance?

Certain things are beyond humour. The concept of an elite that has used corporations to fund genocides for over a century and steal the technological advances that would prevent us from destroying our planet somehow makes this otherwise well executed attempt at humour fall flat on it's face.

It's a bit like doing stand up at your grandma's funeral.

You wanted what I think, there it is, raw.

I do too, the above post was the intelectualised on reflection viewpoint.

Colbert is indeed funny. But my point stands, there are a whole lot of glomy and dangerous things on the horizon that people have to be aware of and give importance to, because if those things don't reach group consciousness level our species could be outmaneuvered by some wacko or just plain hubris and we could end up exterminated by own detachedness.

Most of the time I just detach though, being worried all the time is pointless, so I can agree with your post. But it's a hell of a big *Sigh*.
