I didn't say you did either. What I am trying to say that it strikes me as being a hypocritical load of old toss when the emphasis on what is 'wrong' with society is usually aimed at those lower down the rung and how we should 'fix' them, when I think Governments and we, the people, would be better served by focusing on and addressing corruption and greed at the top of the ladder first.
But of course they are either too scared, unwilling or feel it's just not in their interests to do so and thus let's bash the useless fuck-ups down below, cos it's easy and, hey, who cares anyway?
I think the things we have been discussing ALL need addressing. What I find irksome and repellent is the where the focus on society's so called 'evils' lies and I find it divisive and hypocritical.
