Although i am pleased with all your responses -Even Gargoyle has a valid point to make...the reason i opened this thread was to gauge your opinions about ways of making people realise that we are all part of this whether we like it or not,and therefore should all be involved in the solution..    I repeat ,we were the generation who left for our children ,a society devoid of idealism..founded on greed...and kept alive by spin and deception....Even my own family who wre not deprived in my opinion, now see the accumulation of wealth as the main aim in life..As Rabbie Burns says...

                  O er prospects drear
                And forward tho I canna see
                  I guess and fear.
