5. Jeebus! They don't really think it's real.

People have to be spoon-fed info because they will not research these subjects for themselves.

And because bad news which threatens everyone is not a happy subject and the press lives for viewership, it's not covered.

People simply do not want to hear it, do not want to think about it. They have been lulled into a complacency or believe gawd won't let it happen.

As one of my neighbors recently told me when I brought up global warming, "Well, there are things that we can control and things we can't."
Translating: "It's in God's hands."


As an example, if you cross-posted this in GD, how many would read it?

Reminds me of this article from years ago:

Barbara Ehrenreich: The Relentless Promotion of Positive Thinking Has Undermined America

Positive thinking is different, she says, from being cheerful or good-natured -- it's believing that the world is shaped by our wants and desires and that by focusing on the good, the bad ceases to exist.

Thoughts and prayers will save us.
