Concord wrote in #15 We need to make sure that everybody is housed and fed. And we need to recognize that the world resources can provide for only 2 billion people living the lifestyle of the middle class; that leaves nearly 5 billion people without resources - and those people are gonna get MAD. If we want a peaceful and relatively painless transition to a sustainable lifestyle for all we had better figure out that we must make the resources of the planet the commonwealth of the people and that food and shelter are the right and first priority of us all. If we put the needs of all of us above the right of some to claim ownership and hoard land and resources while denying those things to others we will make it through this rather comfortably.  ^^^ overpopulation is a myth^^^. overpopulationisamyt h.com .
..and if that is true, it would seem wealth/ resource distribution and management be the issue. IMO nationalize all resources. add value locally & export.. and yes please with the commonwealth of the citizens and their well being..

You won't be seeing this in America. The firefighters and police stick together. It never ceases to amaze me what protesters in other countries (outside the USA) get away with. Molotov cocktails thrown at the police in Greece recently. Assault, or even try to assault a police officer in America. You will be badly beaten, wind-up in court, and land in jail licking your wounds. That is if you don't wind-up in the hospital on life support.
