2050, the System
Agree with Tod; by 2050, environmental Armageddon may have already arrived. Live in a big city (Nice, France), and every time I see someone throw a wrapper or kleenex in the street (dozens of times each day), I realize how ignorant folks are in general (I consider these gestures to be direct arrow wounds to the environment). Sometimes I make a snide comment, most times I don't. Sometimes I pick up trash and put it in the publicly provided trash containers (which REALLY raises eyes). Ok, nuff of that...Boring.
THE SYSTEM. It DOES need to be changed. Top-down, bottom-up, laterally, quietly, by revolution, doesn't matter. The current system (talkin' world governmental/social/economic system for the most part) is the death knell for the Human Race as we know it (not the world--she'll regenerate after we're gone.) And yes, I REALLY believe all that. Read Robert Pirsig (the first book, 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance', for some fantastic views on the "System."
