So what is wrong with the world?

This is not a question in jest. It is unthinkable that a world which has split the atom, tamed rivers and set rockets to the heavens cannot find the resources to provide food and clean drinking water to much of its population. The accumulation of obscene wealth in what is supposedly the age of 'equality' in the face of worldwide hunger is an outrage that cannot be tolerated. There is no equality in claiming that all men have the same chance when some are born with trust funds and some to parents who are already dying of AIDS. The reasons for this state of affairs are many and widespread, but certainly there is the colossal failure of the self styled intelligentsia to act as such. far from entering an age of enlightenment, humanity has chosen to sink into a comforting brain dead slumber fed by flickering images and reassuring soundbited from their new Gods, who speak in High Def images with DTS surround sound. This self inflicted lobotomisation of much of the world means that 'the people' sleep while their national coffers are being looted by a few rich and unscrupulous wealth. This article tries to answer the question of 'who owns America?'. What is to be done? Get up, move out of your comfort zone, get something done. This article talks about what is wrong in the way that we have allowed our minds and judgements to be taken over and think what we are told to. I have one simple piece of advice for everyone who does not lead a hand to mouth existance: read a book a week.
