Just A Thought ~ SHALL WE FOLLOW THE DINOSAURS?

"Human history becomes more a race between education and catastrophe."

~ H.G. Wells ~

More disaster is caused by our ignorance and stupidity than is caused by nature, and the irony is, we have the ability to do more about this than about things like floods, earthquakes, tidal-waves, droughts, and so on. There is no excuse for our ignorance today, as there might have been hundreds of years ago, because unlike the ignorance of our ancestors, ours is cultivated ignorance; we choose to be ignorant, and consequently, racism, nationalism, fanaticism, terrorism and war flourish, when we should have outgrown them. Why ~ how ~ can this be?
