Hubski is a classic case in point of the disconnect from the truly important issues. We are all much more interested and occupied by the many other (mostly trivial) things filling our world.

Please explain how interested, educated individuals talking about, sharing and debating art, philosophy, culture, politics, science and whatever other interests anyone may have is an example of a "disconnect from...important issues". These are the interesting things about life, and that which makes it worth living--the opposite of trivial. Would you prefer a world where everyone walks around like zombies repeating "kill rich people" as their personal mantra?

Point well taken and with good grace. I have said before and will say again Hubski is the best place I have encountered for inspired thought, interesting sharing and great dialogue. Sorry for my sometimes over zealous depression when reading some of, what I see as, the great failings of our society. I do believe we are almost at a serious juncture in our global community as to the state of our environment and our society.

If there is to be a positive future then it will be because of people of the likes that I find here (meaning Hubski)
