Hi!
Yeah. You're right. It's kind-a like parents putting money aside for their children's college education. Like, you know, er, well, who knows the kids will want to go to college? Or that there will even by colleges when they're of that age. Or that the country will still exist. Or ... or ...
Great post! As Borat would say, "Very nice."
Regards, stay safe 'n well. Remember the Big 3: masks, hand washing and physical distancing.

Our generation has a choice to make.(1.)
But Our Hands are being "forced" in order to empower some hypothetical "future" that hasn't even been born yet. A non-entity.
We are being asked to give up many pleasures in the present (like consuming oil, land, entertainment products) in order to ensure that some future "humans" may also live out their lives. Things like corporate average fuel economy rules, climate change pacts, mountain-top removal rules, fracking regulations, etc. - all of them hamper Our Generation's capacity to live our lives to the max, like other animals are free to do. Why are we being forced to settle for less than other animals?
Why is Our Generation allowing itself to suffer economic hardship and extra labor - because that's what all these climate rules and land management regulations really mean - in order to facilitate something that "we ourselves" completely control and are currently giving birth to? That might not even exist if we decide that it won't?
Shouldn't Our Generation have the choice to live out our lives to the max without feeling any responsibility for future generations that haven't even been born yet? Shouldn't the living take strong precedence over the un-living-as-of-yet?
Why is our freedom being limited for people that don't even exist? Phantoms.
