>>This isn't like integration and the ending of Jim Crow. People don't want to change, you going to go all Tsar on them? Even people saying they want change seem to think they have to be forced to do it. what's with that? I realize your opinion of humanity at least appears to be fairly low, but if we are really that backwards, why force us to save ourselves? the planet doesn't need us to save it. it will go on without us.<<

Because I am not a stoic. I always thought that was a lame philosophy. And we have to think of the kids. The more responsible we are the less suffering the kids have to endure.

This is exactly like segregation. The people refuse to do what is right and needed, so we need our government to force the people to do it.

Just like the tribal elders often had to force the selfish people to share their food with the less fortunate.
