Maybe your right, maybe it is needed to get people out of their "I want, I want" and put them firmly back into the "Do I really need"
mentality.
I've never put faith in bank savings, I've never joined a pension scheme as I know sometime or other that can be taken away in a blink of an eye.
You have to remember in nearly every generation something happens that can destroy the fortunes of ordinary men but also makes them stop and and think
about what's really important. Luckily we don't have to be drafted into a war and have our cities bombed for this we can just sit at home and watch
it unfold on TV, for some unfortunates it means being thrown out, but people survive and people learn, let's just hope they learn not to be dragged
into the same situation again although given the short memories of last 100 years I think we'll be sat here in the same situation again within the
next 20 years... the culprits... greed of wealth, thinking a bigger houses makes you a better person and raising your children to aspire to be like
Paris Hilton.
I was flippant in my comments because I want a change in today's society, I want a new world war, alien contact, financial collapse, anything that
allows to to stop what we are doing and start again with a better, fairer plan, not a world which has trained us to watch images of dying children on
TV where rather than wanting to help we sit and think "what, they want more money?"
mehhh whatever,
