Subject: RE: BS: Capitalism has outlived its usefullness
"Before anyone starts announcing the expiration of capialism, I would like to see a workable alternative method demonstrated."

The age old cry of the "Liberal" capitalist, but it does make a point. If we wish to continue as a greedy,wasteful society, in the process of completely destroying the planet on which we live and in that process depriving the vast majority of the chance to fulfill themselves as members of their species, or attain any sense of real happiness in their short lives, then we have no alternative;

But if we refuse to see ourselves as a herd of crazed caged animals and as individuals start to lead a life which reflects the needs of nature and the planet, rather than the wishes of our political masters, we stand a chance of long term survival.

It is not simply replacing one economic system with another, that is bound to fail......but a slow change in the way we as human beings perceive our future and our quality of life......Ake
