"We" let Africa "slip through our fingers"??  And I thought you were  merely 
idealistic/cynical (flip sides of the Janus coin).
 
Turns out you too join the rest of the planet in self-aggrandizement and a  
sense of entitlement.  Not a condemnation or insult, just the  acknowledgement 
that you, too, are human.  All too human.
 
God help the next country, state, or continent that "we" let "slip through  
*our* fingers".

Obviously  you don't want to know about global warming.  But,  you're right, 
whether we talk about global warming or not, it will go on without  us, as did 
Iraq, as did our passing the baton to China, as did pharma's looting,  as 
did...  Like with Iraq, we'll wake up one day and say, oh my God, what  
happened? 
 Whatever.  
 
For Paul, Africa has huge resources to offer.  That's why the  Europeans and 
the U.S. have so disrupted it.  It's also why the Chinese are  buddying up to 
Africa, and why al Qaeda has entrenched there.  We're the  ones too stupid to 
let it slip through our fingers, along with everything  else.

Global tragedy is awful.  Personal tragedy is less (voluminously)  than 
global tragedy.  When's the last time you lost your spouse, mother,  and 
children 
in the space of a year?
 
Yeah, I know.  That doesn't address the big-picture.
 
There's a lot of joy, beauty, peace, fun that you're missing out  on.

What is there to do but to make jokes about  it?  It amazes me, or not, 
knowing what humans are like, that the media  isn't making a big deal out of 
global 
warming.  Obviously because they  know most people don't care about it; it's 
not really happening; if it's  happening, it's happening to the poor over 
there, even though, rest assured,  the planet has no prejudices.  Most haven't 
even spent 90 minutes  watching Al Gore's movie.  Titanic did something like 
1.3 
billion in  sales worldwide.  Gore's movie did something like 39 million.  
And,  of course, Gilligan sold his rights so he got not a dime.
