The more deadwood and undergrowth, and the drier it is , then the hotter and cleaner the burn will be when the forrest is finally ignited.....

To put it bluntly, they probably won't. They'll end up making it worse. Trust me, I've grown up with these people.

In what ways?

I dunno. Maybe the same way previous generations have been fucking up the world. Or maybe one of us will slip and hit the button that detonates all the nuclear missiles in the world. Could be anything.

I don't think problems are ever really solved. It's just technology gets better.

If anything I'll probably be counter-productive to this generation. I'm getting a little tired of all the catch phrases ("intolerant", "bigot", "homophobe", "racist") that gets tagged on many undeserving people. I think Ray was right in "Fahrenheit 451" when he said the minorities would make everything null to the point of certain expressions being eliminated in order to appease all people all the time. Sum up: did I say I have a problem with minorities? No. I said I have a problem with appeasing every group all the time.

For example maybe some people see homosexuality as something to avoid if at all humanly possible. That person is not afraid of homosexuals and they don't' have ill will towards gays. It's a moral stance that happens to take a side against an action of a minority. Instead of that stance being respected (with due reason why) that person is seen as the scum of society and on them is tagged a name so no one will listen to them. Why is it that on many issues there is one voice that is heard, but the other is snuffed out with names?

I'm fucking sick of it.

We're so caught up in appeasing everyone, in making everything neutral that we stop looking at things as a two-sided debate and more of a "good vs. evil", "Monkeys" vs. "Rational" ordeal.

How am I going to make the planet better? With the way things are I feel like things are pretty much going one way like a tidal wave, and everyone's jumping on board. So to answer you: I have no idea.

Peace.
