I like that quote that says you can't solve the problem with the same thinking that caused it. I'm pretty sure since man screwed _____ up, (fill in any problem in the blank) we won't be able to fix it until we just learn to step back and quit meddling. You know, like the indians and aboriginals do...they live in understanding and balance with nature. Modern man has no clue how to do this.

Man isn't aware that he doesn't have a clue. How do you reverse centuries of cultural conditioning that has convinced man that he is more advanced than the natural world is?

Not just that, but you see now, man thinks he has a divine imperative to do whatever he wants. We have already obliterated thousands of God's creatures and polluted 2/3 the potable water on the planet. Yet instead of change our ways, most people want to shoot the scientists who are shouting the alarm.

I guess they must be listening to Rush Limbaugh telling them that "Little ol' mankind couldn't possibly do anything that would harm big ol' planet earth."

There really are two camps, though. There are the majority (by what percentage is argueable) who are as you say, but there is a growing minority who understands the deep problems we've created and who long for improvements. I just watched two videos that showed the future of free energy (I'll link these vids below) with working prototypes, and another one where grandmothers in third world countries are solarizing their villiages (solar power) and teaching others how to do the same. Progress is being made...time will tell if it's fast enough...
