64. Very true, and unfortunately this mindset can be found on both

ends of the political spectrum. Think of how many times someone here posts an "URGENT ACTION NEEDED" thread, only to have it drop like a stone. Ask people to Buy Blue, and they'll come up with a dozen reasons why doing so just doesn't fit their lifestyle. Click on a thread about how America's beef consumption hurts indigenous people in third world nations, and you'll see countless snarky "but animals are tasty" comments. They can't be bothered at all, we can't be bothered too much. The lack of will to enact change will bring a great deal of "discomfort" in the future, I fear.
