[quote:Cimi Pax:MV82MzgzMjJfOTcxODkxNF84MjFFQkI0Mw==] [quote:D. SMith 436409] Of course I understand there is always a part of ourselves that wants to keep future generations from making the same mistakes we made, but this can not really be accomplished through systems and legislation this can only be accomplished through changes of consciousness. [/quote] I guess that's why most of us are on GLP. The horrid realisation that we are currently our own worst enemy. [quote:D. SMith 436409]I think Drastic and sudden changes in systems create unimaginable pain and suffering, at best they cause great losses in confidence that take generations to over come at worse total collapse and chaos. We can still avoid much suffering if we are prudent, how much we can avoid depends entirely on us as a people. In gardening terms, we should make changes to the system, but they should be ones that promote growth and stimulus, we need a fence for the system to vine and cling, and for allowing pruning when necessary, not walls that block the space and light for potential growth. [/quote] I can see how this is a wise path if done with hard, thorough action, but I can just see the stick being whittled too quickly by compromise, false optimism and incompetence. [/quote]

What if corporations could only make a maximum of 10% profit? And shareholders could only make a maximum of 10% dividends?
The rest has to be re-invested in the business.
Greed is bad. Time to slap it down.
