well karl, the pictures and your commentary ask a lot of questions... and there are no easy answers, although i like to fall back on the concepts of greed and power.. i also fall back on the idea that the military, banking and energy complex drive a lot of this, but again -that is about greed and power, so i am back to square one..

the question for me becomes this : can humans transcend the desire for greed and power? i think they can, although some might not be able to.. perhaps those who can't are the narcissists and etc who are in control, but i would prefer to imagine a world where the masses just want to get along with one another and so, i stick with that.. reading richards take is too depressing to maintain, lol.. i am not sure how he does it... must have good drugs, lol.. or as he says - he's a realist! i like to think i am too, but i am also an idealist and life hasn't killed that in me..

It’s been posited by this site’s author that Humanity must learn how to share and that it must treat all humans as part of a massive extended family if Humanity is to evolve to a higher plane of existence and thus be capable of managing the coming centuries of resource constraints.

The Russians and to a lesser extent the Chinese have adopted that message. The West, MSM included, prefers to be exceptional (all pun intended) and be the big bully.
