Yeah, I agree and I am guilty of sort of convoluting that whole topic-lol.

The scientists know what to do, but only the dems listen to them at all and the people get hood winked by the pubs who hate them. Because they disagree on the age of the earth-lol.

We need to let the social scientists restructure our society along the modern day realities: over population, polluting the earth, income disparity, and on and on.

The pubs put in high functioning morons and business people, neither of whom have any idea how to structure a modern day civilized society.

I just think it is going to take some more economic and environmental cataclysms

I disagree.... (big surprise (;=)

There are folks whose agenda and or psychoses will never allow them to consider reality

..we are back to cognitive dissonance

If the Phillipine typhoon, Sandy, Katrina, Chicago tornados and the myriad other weather anomalies we are experiencing doesn't faze the Koch Brothers water carriers, more of the same won't make any difference

Same with the bungee jumping economic thrills Bush brought us, budget ceiling crises and the untenable wealth distribution we are experiencing

..none of these things matter to centrists because they are waiting for the real cataclysms...

Which are simply pending and will be irreversible, like when when lose reserve currency status after reneging on out debt...

..but at least we won't have those food stamp leeches gobbling up the sweat of our hard working brow
