You seem to be arguing that we should accept as a given that very thing that is our undoing.

I agree that a slower rate of additional disaster is better than a faster rate of additional disaster, but in this formulation, there is never a time of working against disaster. It is always left to a theoretical "later" when conditions improve. Meantime, we must all understand that they won't improve, and in fact we must be complicit in making them worse (just a tad slower than that bad guys).

That's viable!?!?!?

I'm done with that. I have to set a good example for my children, and accomodating disaster meekly ain't it.
