This country, and this planet, have some very serious problems. Economic
malfeasance; peak oil; climate change; infrastructure collapse....to name a few. When will any leaders admit we have this in our future and start fixing it? If we all sacrificed (especially the very wealthy) and changed our greedy and consumptive ways we could have a "soft landing", imo. We need to start agitating for some real solutions. No Wars! Sharing of the wealth! Care for our fellow humans! Care for the Earth!

1. My solution is to make the rich start running for their lives.
Then, and ONLY then, will they "Change".

2. Someone has said that "the rich should give 'til it hurts or else they
will be hurt until they give". It has proven true in times past. Violence is not the best solution but, unfortunately, it is often chosen by the least powerful as A solution.
