    I expressed in imprecise when I wrote: "Private interest of Individuals is more important than the Interests of Society." - Sorry. I mean that the cause of our problems is: "Private interest of Individuals is more important than the Interests of Society."
    > Just think ....
    Unfortunately, I agree with you. Everything you wrote is true. Just do not agree that the communist system is the remedy for our problems. In theory yes, but practice has shown that the communist system is subject to degradation, like any other system and has a problem with the same healing as everyone else. The problem of our civilization is that we are terribly socially primitive. Our societies are not able to think in terms of social solidarity, unless they are threatened or someone imposes on them a force. I think it is related to our economy. As long as the highest value will be natural resources, energy, and no intellectual value, our world is doomed to various crises.

    @ Mihuel "Just do not agree that the communist system is the remedy for our problems."
    The ugly experience that we both remember is associated with the time when the system was eroded with consumerism as people in the Soviet Block wanted to improve their "quality of life". Today the "quality of life" is not on the table at all, because life itself is at stake. That's why I think that we will soon see some new attempts to rethink the heritage of socialism. And yes, human nature is imperfect, but we either have to subvert to our eternal sins, or try to overcome them, to become better people, more humane, more honest. This is what humanism is about, and believe that Christ would want us to move in such direction too. Unfortunately 2 times in the last century it took a World War to make people start thinking that way.

    I subscribe to everything you wrote. We can not overemphasize the experiences of previous generations, even if we have a different assessment of these events. The current system, regardless of anyone's views, it is inefficient and if things go as now, the world can change in a way that we might not like (eg: the crisis, in 1929 -33, led to Hitler's power).
    Unfortunately, people do not like to study history. Most believe that history is irrelevant, and it is important to the future. Sad.
    Sting was right: "History Will Teach Us Nothing"
    Thank you for your opinions, you have to bang on the bell, maybe someone will hear and will not be too late.
    :-) Cheers!

    If we're going to wonder what Christ would want us to do, we should also worry about what Santa Claus wants. I believe Santa Claus wants to know if we've been naughty or nice. But beyond that I'm not sure.

    I think that you are trying to ridicule what @ GOODEMPIRE wrote . But you must remember that every civilization that has no idea - dying. West has no idea. Of course, the Americans refer to God, but these are just empty words that have nothing to do with Christianity. Civilization needs more than just economics, and hedonism. You never laugh out of this in what one believes, or else September 11 can happen in your ass in a dark smelly place :-) ( The last sentence was a Polish joke, of course or not :-) )
    P.S.
    Do not ask what the world can do for the U.S., ask what the U.S. can do for the world. The answer is the key to the future

    @ Mihuel Thank you. I'm sure people can understand each other better when they face common threats. Ignorance is not a promising path to follow these days. @ brianluce Teasing Santa is a bit risky now (depending on where you live of course). I heard something is going on with the Arctic ice cap. Or that may be just prejudices and silly religious rumors.

    No, you misunderstand, I am extremely serious about Santa Claus.
