What? Me Worry?

       Ya know what the problem is? Its that nothing is imminent. Take global warming for an example. A large group of people think its not a problem. That's because its not right in their face. Their drinking water isn't boiling as it comes out of the tap. We still experience winter in the north. I mean, how bad could it be? Most people aren't adversely affected right this minute.
       Or take North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un. He hasn't sent a nuclear missile to land in Omaha, so why worry. We can send, oops, I mean we can allow our President to meet with him somewhere, maybe in North Korea. What would be the loss? Mr. President could agree to anything that Kim wants. That's because he'll change his mind next week. That's when we'll need to be concerned.
       And if global warming was gonna cause all the ice in the world to melt, including in your ice cube trays next week, that would be a time to get worried about global warming. And that's when we'd demand Congress to fix it, post haste. We'd ask the president, but he's busy with North Korea, where both leaders would be sunbathing on a beach, in March, in North Korea.
       People just don't seem to be worried enough to do something while there's time to do something about problems that are not happening as we speak. Gun violence is another example. Its mental health and too many military style firearms loaded with bullets. If we took away the bullets or the guns or treat those with mental illnesses toward gun violence, it might help. The problem is, we don't see it happening near us. So why worry?
