I've chosen to respond to your query here, rather than the aforementioned, as I am less than happy with Tom's reply to my comment there. As a "disclaimer" I will admit I have not read your article (above) but have scanned it and a few others on your (this) site as well as your "main page" on wikispaces.<br />Now to "business," per se. First, thank you for your query and kind words. However, to answer your query, I will have to disagree, somewhat, with Tom's reply to you. You ask "how do we get governments and the powerful in society to understand the reality...?". There is no need. They ALREADY DO understand and believe their wealth and/or connections to those with wealth will somehow "save" them while the rest of us perish. That's not to say that there is not a preponderance of ignorant, irrational sycophants in my government or yours. They, too, are "irrelevant" to the wealthiest power brokers of the planet. Why do you think there has been such a huge transfer of wealth to those assholes, globally, over the past 3 or 4 decades? <br />Alas, the real crux of the problem is that we have all, every person on the planet to one degree or another, been "programmed, pigeon-holed and played" since birth and since before you or I were born, (I am 60, btw.) "Leadership" of any kind at any level is irrelevant and far, far too late. <br />If you wish to discuss this further, you can reach me (golfwalker) via hotmail [dot] com. Otherwise, I bid you a kind and heartfelt "g'day, mate" and hope you are not too inconvenienced by the heat, fires and deluges in the land of Oz.colinchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16925142870563262957noreply@blogger.com
