We live in a world of disconnected and disjointed people. Noone knows anyone. There is no time for anything or anyone. We sort of drift along and have random encounters with random people.
The reason for such a bleak reality has a lot to do with the way our society is structured. The only way anything will change is if an organized popular movement takes place to change the rules we all live by to make the rules more fair so there can be a community again. There doesn't need to be revolution just a rapid evolution of ideals and an enforcement of those ideals.
Some things to think about.
1. Special Interests should not have so much influence.
2. Presidents should not be able to haphazardly declare war
3. Leaders of corporations should not be making 2000 times more than the lowest paid employee.
4. Students should have all abitraries removed from there path of study
5. Corporations should not be using a "planned obsolescence" philosophy in the products they
make
6. Americans have the right to not be spied on
7. The U.S. should be doing real humanitarian actions not just throwing tax payer money around.
I wrote a book called the New Era Bill of Rights. It goes over rules and ideals that would change all these things.

Hi Jeff,
I would totally agree with you but did want to quibble with just one thing. (Full disclosure, I loathe George W. Bush.) It's kind of a mischaracterization to say that Bush "haphazardly" declared war. (I also think the war was a crime and he belongs in jail.) We have to give credit where credit is due: Congress abdicated their responsibility to declare war in October 2002 and gave that power to the President, which as far as I can tell, was unconstitutional.
