Im no braver then anyone else. Ive just accepted the fact there is only so much I can do in this life. Ive taught, or tried to, young Police that the most important thing they can do has nothing to do with crime ; The most important thing is to leave people thinking there is Hope and that somebody gives a damn about them. Take the time out to listen to them and try and help them and make them feel there are elements in the system that will do so. None of the dangerous people you catch in a career means anything compared to that.

We are supposed to be our brothers keeper. If your down about stuff then volunteer to coach or maybe be a scout Leader. Something around those lines. The years I spent coaching kids in 3 different sports were very rewarding to me.

"People" are both the reason and the cure for you craz.

I am at least starting a dialogue or awareness about it

This amounts to virtually nothing.

For whatever reason the OP is reaching out to others. Many people don't have the patience or orientation to see past how the OP makes them feel, and not return some of the same that is making them feel out of sorts with his post.

You are not going to change him and solve his problem by the end of this series of exchanges. But, you can choose how you add to his burden or not add to it. He appears to be heavily laden.

I've learned that the key to happiness is giving less of a diddly about things that aren't very important or I can't do anything about. Also having traveled to some of the real toejamholes in the world I've learned to appreciate what I've got.

Seems to me that craz is trying to troll or perhaps his anxiety drug he's on needs to be adjusted.

[Volron]

I remember a quote that went something like this: Science is a key.  How you use this key is the real question.

The real quote eludes me, and am hoping someone comes along with the proper quote because damn, my googlefu is weak.

Its the North Koreans and the lizard people who live inside the earth

There are no conspiracy theories or UFO's in the Gettoe.

The Brewster is to blame for population growth and global warming and Hitler invading New Jersey in 1927

Your wrong.

Given the points you go on to make here, I'm not sure you are reading the OP correctly.

[SysError]

Remember that if you look at long term heat charts, earth is on a natural rising heat trend. In a few decades the natural cycle goes again towards the cold and in a thousand years or so it will be another mini ice-age again. That will spell famine for all of the undeveloped world (if such a thing exists then).

Last time there were mini ice ages, every time wars broke when people started to starve. We're better off in a hotter climate.

I thought about my statement here and I've come to the position that perhaps I was too harsh.  Given the pitiful amount of funding most jurisdictions provide their educational systems I shouldn't expect much more.

What is happening now is not natural.  We know this because of the gases found in ice cores.

You think you know how the world and nature works?

Yes.

Talk to a credible scientist and, Ceteris paribus, you'll have fairly good idea of what the next 50 - 100 years will bring.

And if you understand what these scientist are saying, you will see that there are steps that we humans can take to change the current path we are on.

.... but I see the world in 50 years as a much better place. Unless something extraordinary happens.

Well if you live in Russia your statement above might turn out to be true.

Current predictions are that in 50 years the bread basket world, America, will have a harvest session pattern very similar to what Russia currently experiences and Russia will equal or exceed the number of harvest days North America currently enjoys.

The economic indicators you cite will melt away and replaced with something very different in 50 years.

For example, in the US, Florida will sink by 50%?  The Outer Banks in NC will disappear.  Coastal flooding will make a significant portion the population to re-locate.

On the bright side we will finally have a North West Passage.  Commercial test runs have already been conducted.   Hey!!!!       The Russians are pleased.
