Insurers certainly don’t; politicians, with few exceptions, too preoccupied with reelection; hospitals and doctors, (although many nurses get a pass), rarely; the court, Supreme or otherwise, despite their insignificant and bumbling decisions of the past week…no!; the church…holy shit, no!  Of course, I mean caring about important stuff like the well-being of one another and our planet and the other species we share it with, not profits and power and a magical hereafter which only matters if the tedious here and now really doesn’t.  There are simply no headlines to make us smile about the point to which we’ve evolved; dictatorial genocide; an irrational disregard of ecological responsibility; a world-wide economical imbalance, unsustainable by any scholastic model; and a global campaign of polarization bent on creating suspicion and intolerance of…well, everyone and everything.

I have friends and family who care.  Lots of them.  And many of you can probably make the same statement.  So, how can polls show that on any given issue, we the people are split in half when it comes to giving a crap.  Certainly, the questions can be confusing; the issues are not always clear; the pollsters are generally annoying…but health, education, clean air and water…what’s the thought process that leads to a “NO” vote?  Careful…if you can answer this question, you might not care.
