You right wing guys are sure quick to label a guy an apologist for Democratic officials.
You apologists for Democratic officials are sure quick to label any criticizer of them to be right wing guys.
we reached a point in our development where life was easy enough that we got complacent and stopped applying that same creativity you so revere to new problems.
I found this statement of yours to be humorous because often after a nice evening meal, life seems easy enough and I lack the impetus to address my problems for the moment, and I revel in those times, but eventually my meal has always settled and my appetite returns and being that I don't have any food stamps or unemployment benefits I am forced to face my reality's, so that is what I do.
We just keep applying our old ideas to new problems. As long as the results aren't catastrophic, we tend to be satisfied.
I vigorously disagree with you, in that new ideas are constantly being brought to bear on new problems. I do agree that we can be complacent, and I believe that change while uncomfortable for many humans can be a huge motivator.
Trouble is, our habitat has limitations (my opinion), and we haven't yet demonstrated a sincere desire to address those issues, as the changes necessary would probably require us to make a few quality of life sacrifices.
I agree that our planets resources are finite and therefore that they may limit the population of earth, however I do not agree with your statement that, "there are simply too many people on the planet"
I think mankind is capable of solving a lot of the problems we face, but I'm not sure we'll get serious about it before things get really bad. I sincerely hope to be proven utterly wrong on that assumption as well.-
I agree with the basic premise expressed in the preceding thought.
