"People will do anything to save the world...except take a course in science."

Sometimes, the shortest sentences contain more importance and common sense than huge novels!
Good quote, and adding to that they will do anything to save the world so lons it is somebody else doing it. (See: Al Gore)
I've long used the "Let's you and him..." bit for such. Save the world, do good, make peace, spend your money...
You and him, but not me, not me, not me!
Back about the time that LBJ got his Gross Society going, my father commented, "Did you ever notice how do-gooders always want to do good on other people's money?"
"Of course, other people's money. Generally, being a political activist doesn't pay very well."
Well, until this modern era...
