No surprise here.  Take the topic of Global Warming.  With all of the mounting evidence, even our Global leaders can't seem to understand the most basic, self evident reality.  Perhaps they do, and the answer lies in the fact that when people don't know what to do, they do nothing, or may be they are just to scared to act.  This simply confirms what we hear daily in the media.  The solution lies with better education for pre-schoolers in the future, which translates into better future teachers.
