My friend Sterling at

said of this cartoon: “Optimism is not your strongest trait”.
Maybe he's right. No, he's definitely right.
I feel that if we ever solve most of
the worlds biggest problems then fate will finally deal her fatal
blow. But I'm not worried. We'll never solve most of the worlds
biggest problems.
We live in a world where politicians
call intellectuals elitists and environmentalists eco-terrorists.
They call voters “average”, like that's a good thing. In Canada
they work for the “average” Canadian. Do they want us to feel
average, not great? What if I don't want to be average? What's
wrong with being an elite in my field? Wayne Gretzky was an elite in
his field. He's a national hero!
So, if the world adopts an
environmentally friendly source of energy, eliminates global hunger
and ushers in world peace, that's when I'll start to worry (more so).
