Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them. - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Nice set of video's

I always watch stuff like this and think to myself, wow it would be great if we could privately school or home school everyone. Because as the video's say it does instill better values on people.

I think you could get just about everyone to agree to that but the issue is what do you do with the people who can't afford it or parents don't have the time. Your leaving a hole section of one's population without education.

People also would have to be willing to keep up on current thought regarding science and math and given are current number of citizens that are willing to vote one might come across a struggle.

Something one might consider before they go off and try to eliminate government and leave it to private industry. The ideal's expressed in such thought are very similar to that of the confederacy.

I understand your concern and where it comes from, however it is merely caused by the limited vision instilled by our current set up of society.

We are currently structured around maximizing revenue and services, not even industry and production anymore.

If our society was built around bettering ourselves and our environment, our education, our freedoms, even our defences, within basic social moral standards, our ability to grow and prosper by means that don't cause destruction to ourselves and environment, would be much different.

We would see workplaces/businesses that are part school, part daycare, part business, and all benefit to society, not a person's wallet or simply the bottom line and profit.

Businesses like governments are, or were, actually meant to be part of a society, meant to add benefit to the consumer as well as the owner/operater.

But since our "values" , as you mention so often, are indeed so screwed up, this isn't the case.

This doesn't take the destruction of government or capitalism, just a basic restructuring with common values back in place.

It really is that simple, it will just take people getting over propaganda of the downfall of society and standing up to corruption both in their leaders and themselves, especially greed.

To do this they must simply overcome fear.

To help this, they must practice forgiveness.

This allows the elimation of the denial of their own behavior, both allowing and indeed perpetuating this corruption, then of course the fear of retribution from the minority in power who will fight to maintain it.

But first they must be aware of the issue to begin with, or accept the reality, because I feel they already know.

They are just afraid to face it and stand up to it, because that means taking responsibility for themselves first, and then doing something about all of it.
