Honestly, I cannot think of one REAL problem that the "ruling class" has even attempted to solve (in recent memory). As for the rest of us in the real world. There are plenty of problems that are "solved" everyday. It's just that most of the "problems" are pretty superficial, such as:To get back to my OP, perhaps I misworded. I didn't mean to imply that everyone got along or whatever but no matter there differences at the end of the day they solved problems. What problems do we solve today?
- new apps for your phone
- new phones for your pocket
- higher def tv/computer monitors
- More channels/sites for your tv/computer
- easier/cheaper ways of getting widgets from A to B
- ect.
I don't think that is what you are trying to get at though. As far as social problems/issues, I would say that most people just don't want to solve them. It's just too easy to complain, and expect someone else to do it. It's just too easy to stay inside and post on a forum about how rude, and self centered people have become. I don't mean this as an attack (heck I'm hear aren't I?), just as a statement of opinion.
In another thread people are attempting to defend their practice of ignoring certain laws because "everyone" is doing it, or "I know how to do it safely". There enlies the problem that we, and only we, can solve. There never was, nor will be, a single individual that will be able to come up with a solution to the "I simply know better than the law", and "well everyone else is" attitudes.
Only you can prevent forest fires, and only you can prevent arrogance.
