Oh indeed we are all part of the problem J....I wouldn't argue with that.
We have become lazy, greedy, and afflicted by a sense of entitlement

We have been persuaded that we have certain rights, just because we happen to be of the correct species....and these rights shall pertain no matter how we behave, or how lazy, greedy, obnoxious or self obsessed we become.

To make a better society will take several generations and a complete change in what we find "of value"

The political double act in Washington (Pubs and Dems)....and in London (Labour and Conservative), have no chance or wish to change anything, their job as good troupers, is to keep this show on the road
(THAT'S an analogy)
