Only fools disregard preparing for the eventual natural disasters that have proven over time will happen again and again. I am utterly astounded by the inadequate respect and lack of preparedness overall we have for the events that we know will occur and those we highly suspect will as well. The old bury our collective heads in the sand approach favored by Ostriches is not effective for them nor will it be effective for us. These events will occur, even to life ending events yet we casually continue our lives with little more than a notice that something may happen. We have the technology now but not the will or desire to prepare our world for whatever birthing pains it is still experiencing and instead we would rather move from a collective solution toward a non-solution of greedy individualism and a come what may attitude. We are not well deserving of being the most intellectual species in the Universe if our attitudes and preparedness reflect ignorance with arrogance. Instead of trying to convince the masses that the wealthy deserve their wealth more than the masses deserve a decent life, we should be spending our efforts and resources on containing what effects our species is having on our planet as well as pushing the limits of our innovation and technology toward space exploration and habitation beyond our greenish blue orb. What do I know though, I am just a dreamer, right?
