Global warming. Ah, that old subject. Are we doomed because we expanded in industry? Have we destroyed our planet?
No. That's the simple answer.
How do i know that we are not the cause?
For those of you who have forgotten, take a step outside and look up. That bright yellow thing does more than power Superman and a few rich suburban homes.
The sun is only one star in a universe teaming with them. To boot, our sun isn't even that powerful. It can't even create a supernova.
It's time to take a step back and remember that we are almost nonexistent to what is happening all around us. To think that we could affect even the smallest animal populations on our tiny planet, let alone our own weather is a colossal mistake. Remember how tiny we really are.

"But you have to vote!"
Why? Why do i have to vote?
STOP SAYING THAT SOLDIERS/SAILORS/AIRMEN/MARINES DIED SO YOU CAN HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE!
I don't even know where to begin with that grossly inaccurate statement. So i won't.
The fact is that i honestly believe things will remain the same until we either: A. Stop being sheep and pay attention. or B. Simply stop voting. Can you imagine the real change that would come about if NO ONE went to the polls? What would happen if we turned as one to the government and told them as a single voice, "NO MORE!"
And no, I don't think that it's my "Patriotic Duty" to have to choose between voting for a complete ass or a total a turd. I wouldn't trust either of them to boil water, let alone hold any kind of office. Hell, i am surprised that our current campaigners don't have that Darthvadar theme playing every time they walk into a room!
It's time to take the power back! Remember that at one time, we were sovereign. Remember that we were once a Republic. For those that say, "There are people who died for your right to vote," once long ago, a gathering of several states fought a war against the greatest world power for real freedom. And even though it sounds unconventional, they never wanted this.
I will close with a quote:
"Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention. Have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths"
