What used to be “Oh, God!” is now “Oh, yeah? So what.”
People have been educated to accept corruption as a normal part of society and government – to see pollution and the environment as a balancing act – and human death and suffering as quantifiable overhead.
This viewpoint is all very well for those who are nibbling our society to death; but what about the rest of us?
Just because you can’t end corruption, and pollution, and human suffering; doesn’t mean that any amount of it is acceptable. In the real world: A predator doesn’t leave after one bite — if they like it; they stick around for more. For all of it.
