This sounds like the quacks who tell patients they have to get worse before they can better -- just so the quacks can make more money. BS! The patient (society & environment) is already too ill to tolerate more decay. The neo-con ideology has to be put to the dustbin of history fast. > But first, I think we have to be very much clearer as to just what sort of > creature we are.

Please only speak for yourself -- the white anglo male that adheres to a certain ideology (and junkfood, even after they're diagnosed with cancer..). > There's no enough until scarcity is forced on us.

They want good infrastructure and societies, not the decaying compost heap (to use your own words) that is the UK/U$. They can achieve the former by leap-frogging over the harmful technology & ideology of the latter.
