While I can see where you are coming from I think the false trichotomy not very valuable as an analytical device. What we are witnessing is a complex social/technological situation and we need to have a discussion that matches that... rather than divide and conquering ourselves in to us-and-them mentalities.
Sure, most people have no idea. Sure, most people are more worried about things further down Maslow's hierarchy. However, if we are to select a reasonable venue for informed discussion of the issues, this one isn't too far off the ideal.
Let's do our best then to try not to call people (1) crazy (2) paranoid, or (3) crazy who actually care about the issues, OK?
