    Yours might not be, and I hope mine are not, but have a look at landfill, for instance, or pollution. Greed.

    Except if you are referring to the two local Labor MP's who are quite happy to enact legislation that protects their interests at the expense of others. But I know you are not referring to politicians, after all, we need them to protect us from the rapacious corporate world. :lol:

    Bernie Sanders is a "democratic socialist" going up against Hilary.

    Noblesse oblige would be a natural part of the peaceful society that shiney! talks about. It goes hand-in-hand with membership of service clubs and Friendly Societies which will be the major vehicles for supplying a wide range of social services. All such societies have/had similar codes of ethics.

    Exactly.
    The whole world operates like this, including governments, you gotta show compounded 20% growth a year forever, or it's the end of the world :rolleyes:

    So you've finally joined the cargo cult passive consumers voting for the society that feeds them bread AND cake.
