LOL you made me laugh so hard, that's only recently not of the past. and Look at places like Mumbai there is a shanty area with 1million people living mostly homeless living on the streets with bits of there body cut off for better chances of getting money from begging. 1440 people per a toilet. The water is so filthy that they drink coke instead. Conditions of life are only good for those who can afford it, in the past you didn't need money to build your own place to stay in.

I agree talk is not as good as action, but that is where we're all tied up in knots. How, what, where, when, its something I think of alot. Including meditations for, Action, Do! Now! We're still stuck in the ruts of routine and the world is very hard to finetune to what matters most, what basics. Doing our best with family and trying to problem solve takes up so much energy, the other matters take the thing I wish we could learn to do better, communicate in communities.

Okay, although you bring up some very valid arguments there are a few key things that I don't think you have taken into account. People's concern about overall global state of affairs is a very VERY good thing. For you to suggest that we should stop complaining and just be happy with the way that things are is ridiculous.
Im all for the whole world living in plenty.
And TPTB is doing an excellent job at letting that happen within the next Generations.

I doubt the OP would stop screaming if being eaten by a shark because on average, being eaten by a shark is not a problem.

Please dont misquote me. You implied I dont want prosperity for all, so I said I dont mind if everyone has plenty.

Your praise of TPTB is baffling..
The gap between the rich and poor is widening..
How can they be doing a good job for us..??
They are merely looking after themselves..

Back up your hogwash. Provide objective proof that the government and elites are benevolent and act in the interests of humanity.
