(1,400 posts)Our species spends 99% of it's time fighting over gold, and not giving much of a damn about anyone, or anything else.
What we need is so far beyond "Socialism or Capitalism" it makes one wonder.....

(Full disclosure: I am a native Texan, and spent the bulk of my childhood, unhappily in large part, in deep East Texas.)
ETA: I don't mean unhappily because of my family, I mean because of deep East Texas.
