Don....You and I both know that there is no ready made,instant realistic plan available to change this system.
No sensible person believes that real change can be achieved overnight or even in our lifetime,...most of us are over 50.
But intelligent people like yourself and others on this forum, should be the vanguard for change and new ideas,like those repeated again and again by Guest and a very few others.
I dont think for a minute that any of the major parties have any committment to real change ,and it will take years of patient discussion to win peoples hearts and minds.
Environmental issues will to my mind play a huge part in effecting this change.

In the short term, the important thing is not to support the status quo....Ake
