You know, every successful life form on this Earth has rules.  Ours suck. And look where it's taken us, after only less than a 100 years of incredible technology?  The crazies, who in history could only damage other members of the human race--------and now making extinct millions of billion year old life forms..We stink! 

But!  One thing could save us--and I'm not kidding--like bees have rules in ahive, we need rules for our hive. We need to WEED OUT PREDATORS, TYRANTS, LUNATICS from holding positions of power.  Recently commercial airlines have found TESTING PILOTS FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH, weeds them out--few ever fall through the cracks.  So, when will one candidate for public office hold up his test score and say, "Hey, any of you other candidates have one of these?? A clean psychological bill of health?"...  If people who hold power and make decisions about the world were held to account, had qualifications, like pilots--those who cannot cut it, would not be permitted to "fly" above us and destory our world...It IS OUR world...it belongs to all life--and we humans, who pay people, hire employees to represent us--and we have a right to make some demands concerning weeding out power hungry psychopaths from making our laws, creating economic situations, destroying or protecting our fragile environment---Raaaahhh.  My rant.

Thank you for your comment, I resonate with your feelings and thoughts. Our evolution towards betterment as human species is a process and progress the we are constantly looking for as ways to find what is the right path to such destination. It is an individual choice in my view as to what suits us best to change ourselves for a more sustainable, just and peaceful world while being coherent with everything around us. As long as one pursues to find such path is the first and very important step to take. Keep looking and keep being! Best wishes, Gyorgyi
