This is one of my favorite Calvin and Hobbes strips, and it is SOOO true! This is what we're facing with climate change, resource over use, etc, etc, etc. Nobody wants to face the truth - ignorance is bliss. It would be nice to un-learn what I already know and live as though we have no problems. Unfortunately, I can't do that. I can see the cliff coming.
Sometimes change isn't fun, but I think it's better to do it on our terms than to have it thrust upon us without choice. We need to start making changes now.
