Elby, let me fix that:

They Some have no clue that the policies that they promote will drastically reduce the quality of life of people like my friend and myself.

The ones who have a clue really DO CARE; they simply deny how much or how!

You must have seen this already Elby. If not, google the church of euthanasia and the voluntary human extinction movement. Your colleagues will not criticize those groups. Oh, they may deny that those extreme groups really mean anything, but they are very well funded. And they applaud people like that creep Pianka at U Texas who professed that real terrorists would infect themselves with Ebola and then walk into major cities.
