The last time I was in on a conversation like this I heard a cute
quote:

"Most people are, by definition, average."

Says something about the current status of the "average," eh?

Maybe part of the problem is that there aren't enough people acting as
good examples.  If those who care start working to help people more
than they are already, then perhaps people will begin acting
differently.  Unfortunately, with a population this large, any change
at all would take quite some time to bring about.  Most people seem to
show rather little interest in a project of which they might not live
long enough to see the results....
