Re: Social agenda

"Funny how things seem to be going backwards from those basic premises that industrialists themselves implemented then because they understood the bigger picture."

The first thing that I asked myself when reading the article was indeed this same point.

Unfortunately, it appears as though we have come full circle and are now regressing into back into a darker age. The media "successfully" portrays an image of individual wealth, corporate greed and the everyman for himself attitude are far more important than any form of altruism.

The heroes of today are those that have managed to climb the corporate ladder, who have royally screwed their consumers or whose skill involves kicking a ball around.... Society new seem based upon facade après façade of unattainable dreams...

Just what are Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Global Corporates et al waiting on before redistributing all that wealth in order to help create a flatter, more rounded pyramid.
