Wondering If We Have A Chance

ONCE YOU START TO explain to people, in a sane and realistic manner, that here in America, there could be and really already has been a war between the rich and the poor, they begin to listen. So, you have to keep them listening, because you are trying, to warn them, desperately. You know you're gonna die soon anyway, so you don't matter, but they, the young ones do, and you want to hand them a better world. There will probably be many more people on planet earth during the next century, and there will be a need for them all to have adequate food, clothing, and shelter, blah blah. As I get ready to die, in a few more decades, I'd like to think the world will go on after me, that the human race will endure, reach out into the universe, thrive, explore, and expand. That it will go on profitably and happily, for many millenia.. But with exploding population, increasing gap between the rich and poor, and out of control climate change, what chance do we have? Particularly when at least half the people of the most powerful, militarily, nation on earth seem to neither care about global warming, or even believe in it. Moreover, the Amrican people seem content to placidly sit by while their government uses their military to run roughshod over the planet. That's frightening. That's ominous. One wonders if we even have a chance. Why is the gap between rich and poor important, globally, as well as nationally? Because, dear reader, if this continues, there will be a war between the rich and the poor.
