  Jan 19 2013: "Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual Ignorance." H.L.Mencken

  "I don't have any solution, but certainly admire the problem" Ashleigh Brilliant
  Personal responsibility, free choice, laziness, prostitution, drug addicts, greed, honesty, compassion, brutality, generosity,pomposity, pretentiousness, jealousy, intolerance, corruption....politics and religion, poverty, and many more are a big bag (or stone) that humans need to carry some times voluntary, some times involuntary . (Sisyphus fable).
  There is not solution to our never ending dilutions. We are just humans. Are we doom or dumb? Both?
  Is a jungle out there. The only thing that I can be sure is that I can change and improve is myself.....if I have the will.
  Good luck and happy trails.
