HIV vaccine a reality!

This argument completely depends on your clever glossing of your dual use of 'we'. If by 'we' you mean the posters on this forum, then it might be possible to both know and do the right thing. If by 'we' you mean the population at large, then their ignorance, their apathy, their stupidity, and their greed will make it impossible to change the cause of the problem into its solution.

"We" are better motivated by directly suffering the consequences of our own actions. I see a global trend of irresponsibility, with leadership by the USA; massive debt to pay for avarice today, ecological damage which future generations will need to deal with, over consumption of natural resources with little heed to future needs.

"We" will only stop when what we do has a real consequence for the "now".
