Greetings good citizen! This morning's headlines say Saudi Arabia has gone to war with the rebels in Yemen. Does anyone else see a pattern developing? (Besides rising fuel prices...)
So what are you going to do? The beauty of democracy is the power to alter the system to make it better for everyone, the caveat here is if we fail to use this tool, and 'democracy' is reduced to the narrow agenda of the self-interested few) it will be turned against us...resulting in revolution.
It is this, er, 'propensity' for humans to repeat, over and over, the abuses of the past that creates the popular meme that mankind isn't worth saving; so when we finally run afoul of our own stupidity, it will be a well-deserved end.
That, perhaps, is the Biggest Question of all, is mankind worth saving?
