Daylia,

I believe you have much of the drive in the world right there. In a way, it sort of reminds me of a chat with my (sadly late) manager when I worked for Hotpoint. He told me our "purpose" was to make money for the shareholders and like it or not, that was how the buisenness world works.

The unfortunate side effect to this is that those who invest are playing a money game and are more interested in how their investments are doing than human concerns. In many cases, I suspect they are too distant from the latter to care.

I wish I had an answer to it all. I believe capitalism is flawed but, on the other hand believe that our in built greed will always override any socialist values.

Perhaps the real question is how to change the human race to a society that cares more about the survival of all, rather than that of idividuals.

I can dream and will plead guilty to being greedy myself.
