What will our houses look like in 50 years?
Will we continue the trend of McMansions or develop the increasing interest in tiny houses? Will we stay in small family units or revert to multi-generational households as Baby Boomers age and younger generations stay at home longer? In what ways will sustainability and energy-efficiency play a part?
Asked by:How can the UN Security Council ultimately be disbanded (a Q of the key members giving up their veto power) for a change in 2015+?
Is the art of conversation dwindling in the age of social media?
How do we start the argument for the separation of state and economics?
The state’s involvement in economics, our system of interventionism, breed further and further control over individual lives, liberty and freedom. It matters to me as I’m a producer constantly paying higher and higher taxes, and losing more and more of my freedoms. It should matter to anyone who values freedom and liberty.

Asked by:How can democracies remain democratic but become (a) less adversarial (b) more efficient?
Democracies have little value unless the populace participates. I (probably like many others) am put off from active participation and my cynicism is fed, by the cumbersome nature of government and the lack of cooperation between parties. Does a ‘party system’ have to translate into the circus that we witness in our parliaments?
