A quote to think on...

We can't do it (make a better life for all) by allowing just a few hundred families around the world to command roughly half or more of humanity's (and the Earth's) total assets. That's basically the same as us all ceding control of our personal fates to the population of some tiny rural town somewhere that we've never even visited or heard of! And yet that's the state of world governance today. Does that make sense to anyone at all?

NO!! not to me!

What about everyone else?

2. I agree that appears to be the state of world governance.

And, no, it makes no sense.
