Do they really not KNOW, or are they actively IGNORING? And per our conversation this weekend, we know the difference between the two.<br /><br />Holy crap, my nearly 5 year old understands that WE NEED TREES TO BREATHE.<br /><br />Sadly, we are a little bit doomed. Couple this with a lack of population control and the exponential component to which mankind is popping out babies and yes, we are headed down a rabbithole.<br /><br />Sigh.

I mean, had I read that statement from that newsletter in any other setting, I would have been livid...but you dealt with that for me with you boundless humor and intelligence and just had me cheering on your words. <br /><br />These responses...I don't know. They just made me cry. Real tears. You know, I wish it were mandatory for everyone to take an environmental science class...just so they can understand the basics of how nature works. Then at least people could shape their opinions with some reality thrown into the mix. <br /><br />Kara, I'm not sure how you deal with statements like this, but I've no doubt you do it with class and tact...and I'm sure your students end up better off for having had you as a teacher.Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13999759633682551104noreply@blogger.com
