We are fighting a losing battle. I used to think the world was moving forward and globalisation was gradually winning, but fear of the other and greed go hand in hand to set us back half a century. The current crop of people in the world with the power are very frightening. The rich and greedy have almost total power over the media.

I don't despair for myself. I'll be lucky if I can survive 20 more years, but I despair for my family and the good people in this world who are not greedy and not easily led.
