I wonder why you think that kind of world is the world we should all live in and why, as either a premise or a consequence, you think this is "normal". I tend to believe it is a premise to you, not a consequence, but this ties right back to my position that how you look a lot of things in life depends on whether you think you will become one of the "haves" or one of the "have-nots", or associate with which groups. That simple attitude shift may well set the tone for your entire outlook on life. /// -- In a fight against something, the fight has value, victory has none.
