I consider myself on average a reasonable sort of person. I get it wrong sometimes but generally I try to get it right.
The problem I have these days however is without having full and accurate information I find it difficult to have faith in any considerations I have concerning, for instance, current affairs at home and abroad, let alone feeling able to form a solid opinion or argument on anything.
As things are at present, I feel I can understand why each does whatever to each. I though want comfort, freedom and happiness for all, and furthermore, believe most peoples of this world do too, really.
It seems to me the development and support from governments of a worldwide agency supporting and ensuring freedom of choice within and for all groups whilst offering aid to develop in an ecologically responsible way is something most people would support and accept from their own governments.
Am I right, or am I not the reasonable person I thought I was? Will a government ever exist in which I can believe in wholeheartedly? Isn't it time we did things differently? Does anyone care? Hmmmm...I'll ponder on.

.. many believe in the SEP principle..someone elses problem I think. Either that or they become jaded as they get older and lose the fighting spirit, the one that makes them question the injustice or what is 'wrong with the world'.
When I was a whole lot younger, I visited Greenham Common and wrote a school topic about the dangers of Nuclear Power and weapons.
I never recieved a great mark, the teacher decided it was scaremongering, and called me a revolutionary, I've never been prouder lol
I think as you get older though some folk just tire of the stonewalling and half truths, the carefully edited news and muffled mp's responses and give up asking..
The cynic in me says sorry, such a government will never exist, despite them being answerable to the people, they know every loophole by which they don't have too...
