Gabby Giffords, Aurora, and The Human Condition

I think maybe the USA is just an ongoing, democratic (sort of) version of the human experience. We do nothing until there is no other choice.


I'm thinking about: 

• running out of oil
• alternative energy
• global weather
• the worldwide debt crisis
• the worldwide banking scandal
• realistic gun control

Regardless of where you live, it appears as though we're wired to try and find the "easy way out" of any situation. Nobody wants to admit the difficult truth, confront it, and do something about it.

In our personal lives, when was the last time you saw a person do "the right thing" unless that was their only choice?

Probably after every easier (wrong) choice had been made.

As a species, we're really not very evolved...
