There is a group of people who, in my understanding, either cannot or will not accept the fact that our earth is deteriorating, and that is the inner-city culture, or as one might call it, the hip-hop culture.  Their circumstances have taught them that in order to survive, one must acquire wealth and status at all costs, including legal and criminal.  They steal, they rape, they commit murder in order to take what others have.  We have seen them with their massive amounts of jewelery hanging off their neck, often in the form of diamond-encrusted dollar signs, with their diamond-encrusted braces, their obnoxiously large, obnoxiously customized, obnoxiously expensive vehicles, most often bought with their ill-gotten gains.  These all serve as barriers to communication of our message, and so long as people are afraid to approach them and teach them, then it will take nothing short of a catastrophic event for the message to sink in.
