When kids born today reach age 50, they are not going to know who - TopicsExpress



          

When kids born today reach age 50, they are not going to know who Putin was; Israel will no longer exist and its history will be obscure; the Ukraine and the Tea Party Movement will be minor footnotes; Barack Obama will be remembered solely as the first black President. Nothing our news media focus on today with such fervency will matter one iota. What todays newborns will remember about us is that we let the oceans die and the planet warm and we never even had a serious discussion about it. They will see old films of Australias coral reefs, jungle life in the Amazon and the diversity of Madagascar and they will curse us. After every huge hurricane and devastating flood, they will curse us. How, they will ask, could we have been so frivolous, so stupid, so short-sighted?
