Some very good points were made in response to my previous post that I didn’t think of – basically, that things like “copyright cops” and so forth are wasting our limited energies. That things like “copyright cops” and other useless endeavors (I’d argue for “war on drugs” and probably the “war on terror” to be added to the category of “useless endeavors” too, but that’s just me). We’re taking resources (read: money) away from things that are IMPORTANT… like, oh, I don’t know:
- Climate change
- Our decaying highway infrastructure (think: bridges collapsing? Major traffic problems around big cities?)
- Our poor educational system
- Major diseases (cancer, AIDS, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, etc.)
- Space exploration
The list goes on and on.
So what sort of things would YOU add to the list of “useless endeavors?” And what would be on YOUR list of important things?
