Maybe it just seems like the ocean is dirty because we are nearing another presidential election.
That sounded cynical, didn't it?
There are some mighty fine people left in the world... I'm sure of it.
Never doubt the power of large groups of stupid people.
The problem is that as a whole, humanity is not very bright. There are some bright, shining individuals (who like to frequent this blog :-) ), but in general we are breeding ourselves for complaicency and stupidity.
I've been thinking about seat-belt laws lately. Why should the government regulate that I should wear them? If I'm too stupid to protect myself, then nature is trying to say something when I have an accident and am removed from the gene pool.
