That's exactly right. I read a Gore Vidal essay explaining how Regan was absolutely convinced that the biblical end of times would be within his lifetime. It's scary to think how such beliefs influence national policy. Vidal also proposed that no president should be elected who holds a literal view of the bible. I wonder how much the Christian Right influences Bush's environmental policy.
Why bother looking out for future generations if the leader of the free world believes we'll all be getting beamed up in a few years?
Last year I purchased a G3 ibook on Ebay. The logic board went out 2 weeks after I received the computer. Apple agreed to repair the G3 free of charge. After 3 weeks they told me that a certain part would not be available for another 2 months, so customer service wanted to know if I would accept a brand new G4 ibook instead (free of charge). Needless to say, I accepted their offer. Though I've heard a few horror stories about Apple's customer service, my experience has made me an Apple customer for life.

Perhaps there would of been more time available for these stories had the Media Fairness Doctrine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairness_Doctrine not been repealed in 1987 by the FCC.
Kids often visit museums. If you're looking to influence young minds and you can't get into schools, museums are the next best thing.
