Marcio,
Well put ! I have thought I was one of the few who think that way. Glad to find
a fellow who think about the same way about politics and sustainability.
The way human nature works is sad but real. We cannot be idealistic to the
point to say it will be eradicated or altered.
But what can be done is to have good and intelligent people to lead
the way and curb
the ills of human nature. It can be done with diplomatic tact though difficult;
for every person there are 2 sides of a personality. Activate the one that works
positively.
Cheers
Karen Fu
