Thanks for asking Eric.
In all fairness any concept, answer, plan, mandate, or dream I could come up with would always be viewed as nothing more than my opinion.
It’s very difficult to even suggest to people that they need to take their moral obligations seriously. Why? Because people will always resist and cry aloud that it's their right to live their lives in a manner that suits them. Never mind if that right deprives their children of their basic needs.
And therein perhaps lies the problem. People are given choices but those choices are mostly based on their own selfish desires to do what they (THINK) is right.
So here we are in an imperfect world filled with imperfect people who need their THINKING adjusted and it’s those same people who refuse to see the need for the adjustment. In fact some of them want this world to continue just as it is full of chaos, dysfunction, and anarchy.
As hard as it may be to believe it is these same people who will fight to the bitter end just so they can have the right to process thought in order to destroy their own lives and the lives of others.
Just take this one simple principal; “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”. What would happen if people followed the essence of that simple command?
Now if people would only ask themselves, what is it that you would NOT want people to do to you? Now please go and refrain from doing those things to others…. please.
Now if only people would again ask themselves, in what way would you like others to extend goodness to you? Please now…..Go and do that to others.
Given that logical principal you would think people would exclaim “Yes I see” How simple, practical and wise that counsel is and what a better world we would have. But that isn’t going to happen and we know that to be true for at least the reasons I have already stated.
So I’ll bet by now you have figured out that as an imperfect individual I don’t have and answer and no desire to be King. But there a lot of people who know just who can fix all these problems.
And when the call goes out to implement the essence of the golden rule the choice to all will be simple. What they choose to do will be based upon what they THINK.

Obviously there is something (or many things) that caused soceity to become like this. The question is, what is to blame? Why has this happened in the United States and not in many other countries? And can it be reversed?
