RE: Many Chances to Improve. Too many?

We, as a species, have a lot to learn about each other and the planet upon which we live. Sadly, the lessons don't seem to stick and we keep making the same mistakes over and over with each other and in respect of the planet. We are like a plague, not a good one (I'm not sure there's any good ones actually), and no matter how hard the few try, the many override them and so there's little real advancement in that area. People are more interested in their lifestyle, the comfort and having things than they are in a healthy, functional and happy existence.
