The problem is complicated by the fact that the tiny percentage isn't 
constant.  At any point in time only a few are listening but over time the 
faces change.  Watch the subscribe/unsubscribe traffic.

Don't wait for the mass of humanity to save itself.  Common man only 
understands action and accomplishment.  Find something that can succeed and 
make a success.  Humanity will not evolve to survival but it might be lead 
there, and who will lead if not the tiny percentage that is listening?
