Well, unlike some people, I'm only human. I do what I can, but not all I can. I live within the world that is, even if I seek to change it. I eat at McDonald's sometimes, but that doesn't mean I give up on trying to be healthy. Wanting to raise speed limits doesn't mean I drive around at 90. I drive a car, but not a land tank. I don't run the A/C down to 67 while I'm on vacation, but sometimes I forget to turn off the downstairs light before I go to bed. I'm human. Could I do more to reach my ideals? Absolutely. Should I do more? Most probably. I muddle along, and will continue to do so, sometimes succeeding, and sometimes failing to do the right thing.
But I don't just sit and ask why bother.
