It's easy - even preferable - to shrug off. You contribute to the trashing of the
ozone layer. You buy
stuff made in the "acceptable"
slavery of
sweatshops, stuff of little value that ultimately ends up in some
environmentally-dubious scrap heap. You give tacit approval to the deterioration of
values, and its attendant societal decline. You allow
murderers to buy
handguns...
Wouldn't you really rather just forget it and watch some TV? Anything to drown out the noise of conscience.
