Atrocities hit the nail on the head right off: Overpopulation!
If we had only 1 billion on the planet instead of 7 billion, 95% of the problems mentioned would disappear. There's a trade off of course. Fewer geniuses, fewer inovations and discoveries; you can't have it all!

I don't understand why Atrocities thinks that loss of open wilderness for hunting or moto-cross is any indicator of a 'big threat' to mankind in general.

It's not a threat it's a symptom. Of both overpopulation and erosion of freedom.

Statistically, the faster you drive the less chance you have to hit someone at a blind intersection

Yeah, but you go through more intersections that way. It balances out.

I won't listen!! La la la la la... I'm not listening!
Unfortunately I have no faith in the human race to do the right thing. We will dig our own grave then whine when we struggle to clamber out again. But when we rise again, we will have fewer resources to work with so we will be forced to do it better next time. This may be the only way the human race can continue evolving.
