Haven't you heard?  Humans are the center of the universe!  And the sun revolves around the earth!  And scientists are heretics! But seriously, agreed.  We're the ones who don't want to take responsibility. We're the ones in control, but we're doing a poor job of it. We praise ignorance and reward failure. We don't bother learning lessons, though we love saying that we will learn lessons. We go along, too lazy and apathetic to pick up after ourselves. We'll be our own demise, and we've only ourselves to blame. I'm just disgusted that the other inhabitants have to pay for our willful arrogance.
