Is it possible to reconcile capitalism and the conservation of the environment? If so, how? If not, how do we proceed from here?
Is the Australian gun control system working or are we over regulating honest individuals and industry to pander to an emotive argument
Millions of dollars are spent every year regulating firearms ownership for no obvious measurable or verifiable benefits. Has it stopped massacres on Australian soil and are the increases/decreases in crime related?

Asked by:How do we take our communities back from the control of corporate shills and sociopaths without violence?
Behind every story in the media that makes me want to cry I can trace the instigating issue to greed and lust for power/control by entities (corps and gov) and individuals who seem classically sociopathic. The way we have decided to perceive success seems to lead inevitably to the ones most lacking in morals, ethics or care for others to be hailed as leaders. I am tired of the cruelty. I would like to see what we could achieve if kindness and social wellbeing were the goal instead of greed.
