I doubt if one can make any headway at all in a society such as Australia - when the country cannot house, feed, keep healthy and educate it's people

STRESS

it's that simple ------------- stress creates many things --------- 'driven to drink' - old saying - bloody true

what causes stress? well - among other things ----------- economics and poverty

and in a culture which is surrounded by imagery of plenty - big houses, all the goods in harvey normal, flash cars -

if people can't handle their mortgage, if they can't get a rental, if the only rentals they get are like hovels

if they can't stay fed well and stay fit and healthy -

if they can't get an education to increase their incomes -

guess what ----------- they are going to be stressed ----------- they will drink, they will gamble

they will argue about those behaviours, they will fight

no prizes here for thinking this - we don't need Einstein or Sherlock

look no further than Maslow's Hierarchy of needs -------- if your county isn't even on the bottom rungs - let alone just on the bottom rung

you are going nowhere

y'know pinot.... if we changed our attitude they will likely change theirs.

does the egg come first? but if mature science can evolve out of stone age thinking surely then it doesn't matter which came first.
