    Also mass consumers don't help. If people only bought what they REALLY need, most businesses would never get greedy.

    Most of the things mentioned in this thread is what comes of capitalism. I think we'll never be able to go back to living "regularly" again, but we can regulate and make it more equal for everyone. But for that to happen, people must realize that earning 250 million dollars a year isn't reasonable when people are starving, regardless of what company you work at. But these fellas are worshipped like gods by a certain ideology.

    If anything, we are much smarter than we've ever been, I think. We are just much more self-critical nowadays.

    Humanity is doing better than ever. Don't be so jealous of successful people. Society isn't keeping you down.

    I'd say we were a lot dumber when we believed every story from every media source as well as all the propaganda the govt. pumped out during the world wars.

    If you think humanity is stupid, it is only because the majority of us stand in the shadows of the great minds that shaped the world.


    "A nation of well informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins."
