Nice reply Bowman, thanks.
I agree, in Westernised society, people are more concerned about how many songs they can fit on their iPod than in how many polar bears are starving to death. Or in how many $$ they can save if they buy 2 for 1 pizza on Tuesdays. I personally find this very frustrating.
Do you think the important info is "gagged" in the media by advertising interests? I've never really thought of myself as a conspiracy theorist, but I am starting to wonder in my older age. These environmental issues have been around for yonks, but nothing seems to change. People think if they remember to turn of an extra lightglobe every now and then, they are doig their bit for the environment... then they go out in the 4WD in the city to buy a triple whopper big mac environmentally disastrous dinner!!! Argghhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't get it! Why is the media silent on the BIG issues???
