It's all about the short-term; nobody wants to build anything that lasts. I know our time on Earth is relatively short, but shouldn't we try to think about the needs of our descendants? I don't even have kids, but I think about it all the time. Of course, I believe in reincarnation, so I believe I do have a stake in how things work out, that is, unless I'm reborn somewhere else. Sorry, didn't mean to get all metaphysical this morning. Too early for that.
