No that is only to indicate why we somehow think we are invincible and
nothing bad could ever happen to us.
We have 3 generations of people who have never actually had anything
bad happen to them.

Really? Nothing? You can't think of a single thing, say in the last 10
years? Try to come out of your hole once every decade. The air is
fine! :-)

You don't really understand bad things yourself evidently.

What has happened that even compares to the depression or the national
sacrifices we had during WWII? ... Nothing

Depends on your definition of bad things. When millions lose there
homes and their jobs, that's pretty bad. Was the Depression a bad
thing? What about the VN or Korean wars? Were they bad? If so,
compared to what?

Those were still just minor blips compared to the bad things that can
happen. You assume that just because things have been great for the
two or three dozen years you have been on the planet that it will
always be great. You must not have taken much history in school.

Two or three dozen? I'll take that as a compliment.

Would I have had to fight and be injured or killing in any of the
previous wars? No. Did people die in Iraq/Afg.? Yes.

You still keep saying we don't have to do anything yet. When are we
going to start?

Legitimate question. Answer: After we get people working and the
economy moving again.

People like you want us to crush our economy right now because of
global warming that won't have any significant effect for 100 years
but you are not willing to do anything about the debt and entitlement
problem that will crush us in 20.

Huh? I didn't say anything about global warming. And, since you
mention it, it's a short- to long-term problem. Of course, if you deny
it's happening and human caused, then there's not much I can say. If
you don't deny it, then we need to do something NOW about it. That can
be done and help the economy both in the short-, medium-, and
long-term.
