What is wrong with humankind? Do we ruin everything we touch? We have a planet, rich in resources. We pollute the land and sea, strip mine, cause dust bowls in the land and overfish the sea. The rich live their lives of luxury, while the poor starve or have bombs dropped on them. Take email and the internet. Fabulous ideas to allow free access to learning and easy communication. What do we do? Pump email full of spam and the internet full of ads, racism and hatred.
Too negative?

@IndyRichard The problem is capitalism and the insatiable greed of the ruling class.

@IndyRichard it is all true, but at the same time there are people volunteering, rescuing animals, cleaning up messes they didn't create, and looking after their community. Strangers have helped me for no reason other than they could. The system, the people who reinforce it, and the people who exploit it ate reprehensible, to be sure. There are others out there quietly making the small positive impact they can. Humanity would be great, if it weren't for the fucking humans.
