In response to a message from John De Rivas:


He says, "The number of people who make the future happen are very small. The 
chances of any one given individual influencing the future are extremely small."


But this isn't an argument, is it, for being apathetic? It's like saying, "Don't
bother to vote." In any case, as I understand it, only TWO (2) scientists 
developed the new ice blocker for 21st Century Medicine. We don't know if they 
"influenced the future" yet. But they tried. Similarly, only ONE (1) person 
wrote about nanotechnology originally. Obviously it's very convenient to say, 
"Oh, there's nothing I can do, I'm not qualified." But if you haven't tried, how
do you know?
